The St. Louis Blues and USA Hockey would like to invite kids to come try hockey for free this Saturday at one of the following ice rinks: East Alton, FSI Shark Tank, Hardees Ice Plex, Mediacom Ice Park (Springfield, MO) and the Nelson Center (Springfield, IL).

This free clinic is geared towards boys and girls ages 4 to 9 years old who are giving the sport of hockey a try for the first time.

Try Hockey For Free Day is part of Come Play Hockey Month. This program, designed to provide youth hockey associations a national platform to introduce new kids to the sport, is a joint‐effort between USA Hockey, the National Hockey League and NHL member clubs.

With Total Hockey and Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports, the official sponsors of Try Hockey For Free Day, USA Hockey has 500 locations offering kids this unique opportunity.
