Shott's Tots
About the Program
Shott's Tots is a Learn to Play hockey program designed for kids ages 4-10 who are new to the sport and ready to take their first strides on the ice.
The program teaches foundational hockey skills—skating, puck handling, passing, and shooting—through a development-first curriculum led by trained coaches who focus on building confidence and creating a fun, supportive environment for players to learn in.
All equipment is provided for new players, and sessions take place at rinks across Arizona.
