Hancock – Girls Hockey Powerskating Clinic
October 25 – October 26
The Copper Country Junior Hockey Association (CCJHA) is hosting a Girls Hockey Powerskating Clinic on Oct. 25 and 26. The clinic is geared toward
young women from 8U through 19U. It is lead by Former Harvard Women’s Hockey Player and Captain Dr. Colleen Linehan. The action takes place at the HoCo
Arena in the Houghton County Fairgrounds.
Linehan has coached Powerskating for over 20 years, was Team Captain at Harvard and co-coached with the Mid-Michigan Alliance Girls Varsity Hockey Team.
Girls will need to be registered with USA Hockey and should already know how to skate. The clinic will help young athletes improve their skills and be more confident on the ice.
“Girls Hockey is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States,” said Amy Blake, with CCJHA. “The CCJHA has a 40-year history of girls hockey teams, and it’s awesome to see girls hockey growing up here in the U.P. and starting to gain more attention as it gains popularity around the world. The CCJHA hopes to keep building its program, adding more opportunities for girls’ hockey.”
The event is free to young female athletes, but they must be registered with USA Hockey. USA Hockey registration and the Powerskating clinic are paid for by the David Wiitanen and Slim McLean Memorial Youth Hockey Fund. Known locally as the “HoCo Arena”, the venue was constructed in 1972 in Hancock and is where the Hancock Bulldogs play home games on ice.
