As we have many foreign speaking kids, players and parents, here is a short information summary about the club and how to get started with ice hockey at IK Aarhus.

Who is IK Aarhus? Ice Hockey Club Aarhus was founded in 2008, and we have more than 220 happy members of all age groups. The club is located at Aarhus Skøjtehal, Gøteborg Allé 15, 8200 Aarhus N.

How to start playing

Beginners age 3-11

Our Hockey School starts every Saturday morning at 9:45 - 10:45. Please show up at 9:00 the first time you attend Hockey School. At hockey school we start practicing basic skating skills. We work with skating posture, balance and simple exercises. Once your child has shown enough progression, they will join our U7 team or the U9 team depending on the age of the child.

We have equipment and skates you can borrow for free, so you only need to bring long underwear or similar and a bottle of water. Don't dress them too warmly, as they usually won't freeze when skating.

Age group 7-17

After completing Hockey school players will join one of our youth teams, depending on age.  When joining the U13 or U15 teams previous hockey experience from another club or similar is recommended. But if you are willing to put in a lot of effort to catch up, come and talk to one of our trainers about how you can get started.
