CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Monsters announced their Grow the Game programs consisting of the Summer Street Hockey Series that will be held from June to August featuring four street hockey events and a specific all-girls clinic. Additionally, the team’s annual on-ice Summer Youth Hockey Clinic will be held in late July followed by the team’s 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 offered at four of the rinks of Monsters-Certified Learn to Play Programs presented by University Hospitals. Representatives from local youth hockey organizations will also be on-hand to register children for Learn To Play programs this fall.
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 2023-24 Monsters game. 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/
