Junior Rangers
Designed for families within the Forest Lake School District, this entry-level hockey program is perfect for kids ages 4 to 8 with little to no skating experience. It’s the ideal starting point for new players looking to explore the sport unless they’ve already participated in our Learn to Skate sessions or a previous JR Rangers program and are ready to move up to Mini-Mites or Mite level hockey.
Players will be introduced to foundational skating techniques and basic hockey skills through age-appropriate instruction and engaging activities. Our goal is to build confidence, coordination, and love for the game whether your child is stepping on the ice for the first time or looking to develop new skills before joining the next level.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: JR Rangers has already started, can I still join?
Answer: YES! We have a new session starting Nov 2nd but you may also join JR Rangers at anytime as the kids can jump into the program and they will move through at their own pace and still be with other kids at their level regardless of when they start
Question: If I sign up for a JR Rangers program that has already started would I receive a discount on registration fee?
Answer: No, I'm sorry but that is not something we can offer at this time
Question:
Can my kiddo do JR Rangers if they are 3 years old?
Answer:
Yes, however at 3 years the kids will do best when either a parent can be on the ice and skate with them to start or if they can stand up and move on skates already then they will have a good experience. Contact recruitment@flhockey.org to complete registration if your child is under 4 years old and would like to do JR Rangers
