Little Blackhawks Hockey Camp For Kids 4-9 Teaches Skating, Skills

EVERGREEN PARK, IL — The Evergreen Park Recreation Department is introducing a new youth hockey camp for 4 to 9-year-olds at the Daniel V. Capuano Ice Rink at Yukich Fields, 89th Street and Kedzie Avenue.

The “Little Blackhawks” is a hockey camp for younger kids interested in how to play hockey and other basic skills. The six to eight-week program will run on Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. starting Jan. 4. Kids need not be Evergreen Park residents to participate.

"This is a new program for our rink," said Mike Huguelet, director of the Capuano ice rink. "It's an introduction to hockey with a focus on skating and other fundamentals of the game."

The cost of the program is $298 and will include six to eight on-ice instruction sessions, a FULL SET of equipment to keep (including helmet, gloves, shoulder pads, pants, elbow pads, shin pads, stick, skates, jersey and bag), a free ticket to a 2024-2025 Blackhawks home game and an appearance by a Blackhawks alumni at one session.

"It's an insane value for the price," Huguelet said.
