McVander Hockey’s MISSION is to bring a SUPER-FUN, BALL HOCKEY experience directly to the COMMUNITY!

NO ICE. NO SKATING.

PLAY IN TENNIS SHOES.

If you’ve never played hockey before, we’d love to have you. If you play professional hockey, we’d love to have you. Hockey is for everyone!

MAKE NEW FRIENDS, LEARN HOCKEY SKILLS and HAVE A BLAST!

No ice. No skating. Ball hockey is similar to ice hockey, but but players wear tennis shoes and play on a hard surface using a ball instead of a puck. It is a super-fun, fast-paced, team-oriented sport that emphasizes strategy, speed, and agility. Your student will have a blast!

No experience required! In fact, almost all the kids that start playing ball hockey with us have never played before. Through exciting games & challenges and friendly scrimmages, players develop confidence, coordination, and teamwork skills. Our experienced coaches will guide them every step of the way, starting with basic hockey fundamentals like stickhandling, passing, shooting, and positioning. We will make sure they learn the game of hockey the right way, in a supportive and fun environment.

Every student goes home with our McVander Hockey t-shirt and wristband.

Teamwork, respect, integrity, and positivity are the core principals of our program.

McVander Hockey's after school program has been an awesome experience for our child! Nate and Brandon are excellent coaches, making the experience both engaging and fun, all the while keeping the kids safe. Our son had never played hockey, and watching his improvement in just a few short weeks has been incredible!
