Beginner to Game-Ready: Why House Hockey Could Be the Best First Step

PSM Icehouse House Hockey

For families exploring the best way to keep their young hockey players growing and having fun, House Hockey is a great choice. It offers the right mix of skill-building, teamwork, and game experience in a supportive, community-focused environment. If your child has completed Hockey 3–4 in the Learn to Skate USA program and is ready to take the next step, House League could be the perfect fit.

What Is House Hockey?

House hockey is a local, recreational hockey league that focuses on player development, teamwork, and love for the game. It’s designed for athletes who are ready to transition from skating classes to full games, but who may not yet be ready—or interested—in the time and travel commitment of a competitive team.

Players receive structured coaching, regular practices and games, and the opportunity to grow in a supportive, team-first atmosphere.

Why Choose House Hockey?

✅ Skill-Focused Coaching

With a focus on core hockey skills like skating, passing, shooting, and positioning, our House Hockey program helps players build confidence and competence on the ice. Coaches guide each player based on their skill level to ensure steady progress throughout the season.

✅ A Great Environment for Growth

House hockey fosters a fun, low-pressure environment where players can develop at their own pace. They’ll learn about teamwork, sportsmanship, and how to apply their skills in real-game settings—all while enjoying the game.

✅ Strong Foundations for Future Play

Whether your player wants to continue in House League or eventually move into more competitive hockey, this program provides the right building blocks. Many players go on to participate in travel teams or position-specific clinics once they’re ready—and we proudly offer both at PSM Icehouse.

✅ Local Games, Big Fun

Practices and games are all held at our state-of-the-art, three-rink facility, making it convenient for families to be part of the action without leaving town. Players build friendships, families connect in the stands, and the rink becomes a second home!


At PSM Icehouse, our House Hockey program provides a strong foundation for youth players while also serving as a stepping stone toward future hockey opportunities—including travel hockey and elite clinics.
