Explain ice hockey to a young child as a game played on skates where two teams use sticks to pass a puck and shoot it into the other team's net. Start with balance on skates, holding the stick and passing. Let's Learn to Play Ice Hockey shows a child ages 3 to 8 the gear, the rink and a face-off.

Ice Hockey book questions

What age is the Champion MVP Ice Hockey book for?

The Ice Hockey storybook is written for ages 3 to 8. Children ages 3 to 5 follow along through the illustrations while an adult reads aloud, ages 5 to 7 read it together with an adult, and ages 6 to 8 work through the puzzle book on their own.

When should I read the ice hockey book with my child?

The week before sign-ups or the night before the first practice. The story walks through what a first ice hockey practice feels like, including the nervous parts, so your child knows what to expect before they arrive.

Yes. Champion MVP publishes free animated episodes on YouTube and free printable activity pages for classroom and home use. No account or sign-up is required for any free resource.
