2023-2024 Season Learn to Play Information

The 2023-2024 Learn to Play (LTP) full season cost is $220 for all players and is due at signing of contract. Practices are on Saturdays from 5:45 pm to 6:45 pm at Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center. The season starts October 7, 2022, and ends mid-March 2024. The full schedule will be posted on the LTP Team calendar before the first practice, but please note that rink schedules can change throughout the season and any changes will be communicated.

To provide flexibility as players determine their interest in hockey, the Utah Junior Grizzlies are providing the following:

  1. Players registering after the season begins will pay a reduce fee based on the number of practices available at the time of registration as compared to the full season.
  2. Should a player decide to withdraw from the LTP program, a prorated refund for the remaining practices will be provided based on the written notification of withdrawal receipt date by the Utah Junior Grizzlies.
  3. If during the season a player's skill level is considered to have advanced to a level where team play is considered appropriate for their continued development, that player will be provided an option to join the Mini Grizz program for the remainder of the 2023-2024 season.

As part of the registration process players will need to first register with USA Hockey. USA Hockey registration may have a fee based on the player's age and that fee is separate from the LTP session registration fee. USA Hockey registration is valid for one season. 

LTP is intended for 6U and 8U age group players. For the 2023-2024 season, this includes birth years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.  Also, LTP is designed for players with prior skating experience, that have an interest in learning to play hockey. Players must have passed Learn to Skate (LTS) Level 2 (or equivalent) prior to joining the LTP program.

The LTP registration fee does not include the required equipment, see list below. The Utah Junior Grizzlies have been in contact with the KORTH REBELS FOUNDATION, which can provide used equipment through its exchange program at no cost: https://korthrebels.com/equipment-exchange. If interested, players should contact Donald Korth, krfhockey@gmail.com or (801) 450-3614.

Other resources for equipment include:
