Junior Rangers

Designed for families within the Forest Lake School District, this entry-level hockey program is perfect for kids ages 4 to 8 with little to no skating experience. It’s the ideal starting point for new players looking to explore the sport unless they’ve already participated in our Learn to Skate sessions or a previous JR Rangers program and are ready to move up to Mini-Mites or Mite level hockey.

Players will be introduced to foundational skating techniques and basic hockey skills through age-appropriate instruction and engaging activities. Our goal is to build confidence, coordination, and love for the game whether your child is stepping on the ice for the first time or looking to develop new skills before joining the next level.

Question:

Can my kiddo do JR Rangers if they are 3 years old?

Answer:

Yes, however you will need to contact the Matt Folsom - recruitment@flhockey.org or 651-278-2242 to determine whether it will be a good fit or not. Kids that can stand up and move on their own on the ice or who are accompanied by a parent who skates with them on the ice can do JR Rangers at 3 years old but keep in mind their attention span is still not the same as a 4 or 5 year old and they may not spend the entire session on the ice which is ok. We want all the kids to have a good experience and for some kids that can mean waiting until age 4 before they do JR rangers whereas some kids can do fine if they have a parent accompany them.
