If you have never played ice hockey before then the best place for you to start would be with some of the rec teams that play out of Chelmsford. The Chelmsford Reapers have a learn to play scheme – they can be found on facebook.
If you have played before please drop us an email with your Elite Prospects profile and some information of the levels you have played at.
You will need to contact the Chelmsford Ice Hockey Academy. They are on facebook and also have a website too.
Unfortunately, that does mean we are at capacity. We recommend not travelling unless you do have a ticket.
This is a mid game activity for the kids. We pop a cone on the ice and they have to glide their puck as close to the cone as they can.
Pucks need to be collected from the merch stand before the second period break.
If you would like to present the beers at the end of the game please email hello@chelmsfordchieftains.com and they will check the date for you.
It costs £30 to do so.
