Jun 20, 2024The Cleveland Monsters announced their offseason initiatives to help Grow the Game of hockey across Northeast Ohio including the Summer Street Hockey Series, Monsters On-Ice Clinic presented by Sugardale and the annual Summer Tour. Additionally, the team will host the Kivi Day goalie clinic in late August in honor of Matiss Kivlenieks’ birthday to pay tribute to the late goaltender while also giving back to the local community.
Summer Street Hockey Series:
The Summer Street Hockey Series will be open to all children ages 11 and under regardless of their hockey experience, participants can enroll with just a $5 donation to the Monsters Community Foundation and will receive USA Hockey-certified instruction in the fundamentals of stick-handling, shooting, and passing. Participants will also receive a Monsters t-shirt and a complimentary ticket to a 2024-25 Monsters home opener. In addition to the Summer Street Hockey Series, the Monsters will host a special all-girls clinic to continue expanding the team’s Girls Grow the Game platform.
Each street hockey clinic has limited spots available. Players joining the clinics must wear closed-toed shoes and use the equipment provided by the Monsters. Parents can register their child starting today at clevelandmonsters.com/growthegame with time slots filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
