New Players

New To Hockey? This Is The Place To Start!

Do you have a player that has little to no hockey experience and you aren’t sure where to start.  This page will help guide you through that process.

SAM Moose Hockey will help your new player learn the basics of hockey with a fun and progressive approach following the guidance of USA Hockey.  New Players will move through the Skating Association of Maine's Learn To Skate Programs, SAM Moose Hockey's Learn To Play Program, and then progress to 6U and 8U Hockey Programs before beginning full ice games.
