Queen City Hockey Association Learn to Play Hockey

Registration is now open for the 2024-2025 sessions of the Queen City Hockey Learn to Play Hockey.  Queen City Hockey Learn to Play Hockey is a combination of hockey skills and scrimmage situations taught by a professional and friendly staff. 

Participants in both Learn to Skate and Learn to Play Hockey need Learn to Skate numbers

Queen City Hockey Learn to Play Hockey is held at the Northlands Ice Center located at 10400 Reading Road in Evendale Ohio.


The class is open to youth and adults ages 4+ with skating experience.

Learn to Play vs Learn to Skate -- If your child is just starting on skates we recommend that they attend the Learn to Skate program first.  Before moving to LTPH, we would like all players to be able to move forward on their own and be able to stop.

Skaters will be divided into small groups based on a combination of skills and age.  The goal will be to teach your skater the skills necessary to participate on a hockey team within 2-4 sessions.
