New to ice hockey
We are always excited to share and grow the Wellington Ice Hockey community. Anyone is welcome to give it a go and join in the fun. No previous Ice Hockey experience required but some basic skating ability would be preferable. If you are keen, simply come on down and check it out or get in touch if you would like further information. New players are always welcome!

Equipment
Full gear is required for all ice time run by WIHA. To support new players joining this great sport, we have a large selection of gear available to borrow for players of all ages and sizes - please get in touch and we'll see if we can sort you out some gear. For more information, see our equipment page.
Safety
Ice hockey has a reputation for being a rough sport, however, it is relatively safe due to all the equipment that players are required to wear. Furthermore, it is rare to have leagues in New Zealand that have ‘full contact’, or ‘checking’; only top New Zealand leagues allow full contact, so it will not be permitted in any Wellington ice hockey for the foreseeable future.
