50 youth players attend NCRHA's Mission Hockey College this weekend at the Skatium, Ft. Myers FL
The NCRHA's signature youth "give-back" program sponsored by Mission Hockey reached out to another great group of our newer youth players at the SECRHL event at the Skatium in Ft. Myers, FL where they hit the "Big 50"!

Jeff Cohen, University of Central Florida's, SECRHL Mission Hockey College Head Instructor, headed up the program that ran skills and drills for 50 players who all enjoyed the free hour of instruction. Other college instructors volunteering their time included some of Jeff's fellow UCF teammates, Florida International, Florida Atlantic and University of Miami players.
Skatium Athlete Director, Kyle Couchois witnessed the excitement of the youth players first hand at their very first MHC in November, saying that "it was great seeing all the players leaving the rink with smiles." The smiles grew bigger when all participants received a special Mission stick bag compliments of Mission Hockey! Kyle adds, "This event is a great way to start off our new youth season." Agreed! Glad we could be a part!
