N.A.S.C. Hockey, approximately seven years ago adopted the combined model of Hockey Canada, USA Hockey and the GM Safe and Fun hockey approach towards making hockey fun for all of our players. We started by removing body checking from the association and adopted a greater emphasis on developing the players confidence and ability.


Numerous studies support our decision
on enhancing the practice to game ratio in order to further develop the skill level and fun factor of our kids.


Listed below are a number of links and documents that emphasize the importance of making the game fun, and developing the confidence of the kids on the ice.
