What equipment does my player need to participate?

All players need a full set of equipment to skate in Rookie Camp. The Equipment Guide has details on required items, where to get them, and how to dress your child.

New players registering for Mite hockey are eligible to participate in the Free Gear Program where a set of protective equipment is available from Lettermen Sports. See the program page for more details.

My player has never skated before. Can he/she still register?

Absolutely! This is the perfect way for new players to get started.

Can my player participate in Rookie Camp more than once?

Rookie camp is intended for players who are new to hockey and have not previously played for the St. Louis Park Hockey Association. Players may only participate in one year of Rookie Camp.
