Increase Student Awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Fields as a Future Education and Career Option. Hockey has been shown to be an effective subject to expose children to math and science. In this same spirit, this program gives students the ability to learn and apply basic academic concepts through hands-on application on the Hockey Rink. We strive to not only expose students to STEM fields, but to help them understand, visualize, and integrate the connection between hockey, science, and mathematics through a variety of learning styles (i.e., visual, kinesthetic, auditory). These hands-on experiences encourage continued involvement and enrollment in math and science classes that will promote academic and career pursuits in related fields.
