The program features a traveling rink that will make approximately 25 stops throughout the Fort Worth area in June, July and early August. Players from the Brahmas will help instruct kids age 6-16 on different skills such as skating, passing and shooting. Teams then scrimmage to close out the two-hour session. Blacktop Brahmas is open to youth that are between the ages of six and sixteen and is offered at no cost to the participants. We are excited to be able to offer this program to our community for another summer, Brahmas General Manager Mike Barack said.
Kids really enjoy participating in the program and working with professional hockey players.
Parents appreciate that it promotes using safety equipment, as well as the fact that the program is free. This allows us to remain ingrained in the community during the summer months. The players become more accessible during the tour, helping to develop interest in hockey as well as providing safe family entertainment. The Brahmas will provide sticks, street-hockey balls, helmets, shin guards and colored jerseys for kids to use while participating. Participants are encouraged to wear in-line skates, however these are not required in order to participate.
