Frequently Asked Questions
My player has never skated before. Can he/she still register?
Absolutely! This is the perfect way for new players to get started.
What equipment does my player need?
To ensure your player has a great first experience, we highly recommend players have all appropriate equipment: helmet + cage, neck guard, shoulder pads, elbow pads, breezers, shin pads, hockey gloves, stick and skates.
How does the Lettermen Sports voucher work?
Once registration is confirmed, participants will receive a $100 voucher to put toward hockey equipment at Lettermen Sports (locations in Plymouth or Blaine). In addition all new players can participate in the Lettermen Loot program which earns you up to 25% cash back (normally 20%) on all purchases. Learn more about Lettermen Loot.
