The Burnaby Winter Club Rascals Program is the largest learn-to-play hockey program in British Columbia. Designed for kids ages 3 to 6, it provides a safe, fun, and supportive environment where young players can build confidence, develop skills, and make new friends.

Players are grouped by age and ability so everyone can learn and progress at a comfortable pace. Our goal is to help each child grow their love of the game while feeling included and supported.

The Rascals program runs twice a week, with two seasonal intakes — October and January. Each session is 40 minutes long, and there are no early morning ice times, making it easy for families to participate.

You don’t need to be a BWC member to join the Rascals program. Many participants later continue into our Minor Hockey Association or even the BWC Academy.

The focus of this program is to combine learning to skate and learning to play hockey. Players must be able to stand and glide forward on the ice to participate in the program. They must also be able to participate alone, get up by themselves, and skate/walk the width of the ice. Full hockey gear is required. We recommend that players complete at least 2 skating levels prior to registering.
