Hockey Lesson Sessions at Reno Ice

We offer private and semi-private hockey lessons weekly. Semi-private lessons can include up to six skaters per session.

Please note the following:

  • When booking a hockey lesson, you’ll choose a coach from our staff list. The coach must be on the ice with you/your child during the lesson timeslot.

  • Full equipment is required for hockey lessons.

  • You need to check in at the front desk before stepping on the ice for a lesson.

  • Lessons are not Stick & Puck sessions. Skaters may use a stick and puck during private/semi-private lessons, but shooting pucks across the ice is not allowed.

Lesson Rates & Payment

The ice time fee for hockey lessons is $13 per session (which must be paid before getting on the ice)

Lesson fees are paid directly to your coach. Coaches are independent contractors and set their own rates and schedules.
