Emphasis is placed on the very basics of skating within a safe and fun environment. It is designed for first-time skaters only please. Players who have previously participated in First Strides or another Learn-to-Skate program should register for the Warriors Learn-to-Play Hockey clinics.
Note: There is no cost to participate or use the loaner equipment (see equipment section below). All players must register with USA Hockey. There is a minimum cost to register for USA Hockey for players 7 and older.
Equipment: We have a limited amount of loaner equipment available on a first come, first served basis. Please indicate if you will be borrowing equipment or using your own when you register. Players will receive a helmet with full face guard, hockey gloves and hockey skates. We also recommend that players wear shin guards and elbow pads.

Vincent: first..let me commend you for doing an excellent job! I have a couple thoughts I would…Read More like to bounce off of you:
1. How about a proposal for property tax breaks for seniors? Pick an age..62 or 65. The majority of retirees are on fixed incomes, some of which are on the razors edge right now and are looking at having to move from the area even though they don't want to. Its a shame that people who have lived their whole lives here cannot afford to stay on for retirement.
2. The current property tax credit for veterans is $1000 and has been stuck there since the '60s if I'm not mistaken. It really doesn't amount to a hill of beans given current property values and needs a serious upgrade/higher value. As a combat veteran (Viet Nam) I would be really grateful if this could be improved.

Vinny - you obviously understand both the problem and the solution. As a general rule, all our…Read More elected officials are intelligent people, so I just don't understand why the Majority party doesn't seem to "get it." Please keep focusing on the problem AND the solution. At some point in time, perhaps other elected officials will finally understand the problem we are in, and realize that we really need to get serious about fixing it. Thanks for your service to the Connecticut's tax payers!

Audrey: welcome to the world of state and town contracts, unions and piddly regs that must be…Read More quibbled over. There are power plays between city and state civil engineers,etc.All this is done in the name of "progress"..something I had hoped to see slow down when I moved to Northford. Progess nearly always means ever escalating taxes and rules that eventually push out folks of lower income, turning it into yet another elitist Connecticut town. It's sad the town managers and council can't seem to put their foot down and reign in spending.

I agree, it seems as though they are more worried about putting in fake grass, and spindly trees,…Read More and are not working fast at all. The beautiful center of our town has been ruined. I cannot see it ever looking good again. I think it is a bigger bottleneck than we had. Whoever they hired as an engineer should be ashamed to take any money. Very poor planning...or may be plans in the works. The two ugly houses we have to pass when we go from 139 towards RT 80, its sure ugly, and that dentist office should be to torn down. Give it up. We now have an ugly town center. The shopping center at Dairy Queen, is dying for stores, but who would move in? I wish I could move out of town. This is atrocious.

Other than some work being performed at the Notch Hill Road and Rte 80 intersection and some work…Read More under the Tilcon Overpass there has been little to no activity for months. Other than the equipment needed in these two areas there is no longer any large equipment in the area. Clearly crews have picked up and moved on. Is there a funding issue? An updated schedule should be posted to the Town's Website so we can all understand what progress will be made this spring. Please comment if you have details.
