Flexible Seasons
No year-long commitments here. Shorter seasons make it easy for families to try hockey, fit it into busy schedules, and come back when it works best.

Less Travel
Unlike traditional programs with constant road trips, Ice Puffins keeps things local. Families spend less time in the car and more time enjoying the game together.

Female Coaches
We make a point to have at least 50% female coaches on the ice. They’re role models who inspire the next generation—and yes, our male coaches are great too!

What Our Families Are Saying
"Our daughter has participated in the “Skate and Play” program to get ready for playing hockey. We were blown away by how much she improved each session. Children work on key skills through engaging games and they receive valuable feedback from excellent coaches. We are thrilled to have found this program and look forward to having our children participate in more programs in the future."

All-Star Mom
"Kevin and his team are doing an excellent job at reintroducing hockey to my 5 year old daughter. She came off the ice after her first skate and was so excited to go again. They have made it fun to learn the sport and increase their physical skills, all while playing games and enjoying the time with friends"

"My daughter attended one of the hockey sessions and absolutely loved it! The coaches were fantastic- super encouraging, organized, and made sure every kid had fun while learning new skills. She came home excited and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun she had. It’s such a great program for kids of all skill levels, and you can really tell the team behind it cares about the experience. We are looking forward to the summer league. Highly recommend!"

Have questions?
I've gathered common questions and their answers. If you can't find what you're looking for, try asking IceBot
Players must be able to skate independently. No hockey experience is required—participants will be grouped based on experience to ensure a fun and fair challenge for everyone.
Yes! We play small-area and modified hockey games designed to develop skills while keeping kids active and excited. It's hockey—just reimagined for fun and development!
Full hockey gear, including a neck guard, is required. Herm’s Sports is a great option for used equipment. Contact us with questions—we’re here to help!
We play in London, Ontario and surrounding area. Our Summer 2025 season was based in Komoka, and our Fall/Winter 2025 season will run out of Farquharson arena in London.
Yes. If your family needs help covering the cost of registration, there are third-party programs that may be able to assist. Canadian Tire Jumpstart is a national charity that provides funding for registration and equipment for kids aged 4–18, while KidSport London offers grants of $50 to $250 for children aged 6–17 to help with registration or equipment in non-profit sports programs. These programs are reimbursement-based and not directly affiliated with Ice Puffins, but if you’re applying and need support with the process, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to help.
