Specialty Hockey-Youth
Polar Bear Hockey League (PBHL)
Ages 5-14
Supervisor: Bryce Miller
e Polar Bear Hockey League or PBHL has been
revised to provide an opportunity for our hockey
players to actually play the game. ese cross ice
games will feature roughly 15 minutes of game
overview followed by 45 minutes of play (three
12-minute periods). e Park District of Oak
Park program believes that 1 weekly lesson is not
enough to become "a better" hockey player and
must be complemented by more practice, ice time,
and play. As such, signing up for a hockey lesson
for the instruction should be complemented by
PBHL game play where players can learn to apply
their skills. PBHL is also an excellent step for those
players wishing to get a feel for the game aspect
before beginning a travel program, but also enough
for those not wishing to travel.
