Time for a little flying V with some ice hockey!

Not your regular ice skating. 

If you were a 90’s kid like me I bet you watched The Mighty Ducks on repeat. Now you can get some Triple Deke action and hit the ice to emulate those childhood heroes at O’Brien Icehouse in Docklands.

You may have tried ice skating before and good on you. But can you do it with a stick and puck whilst taking a hit? Ice Hockey is not for the faint of heart. Speed, agility, teamwork and a ‘no fear’ attitude are all prerequisites, along with a love of hard rubber discs travelling at breakneck speeds!

O’Brien Icehouse runs a number of Drop In programs for you to hit the ice including ‘Stick and Puck’ for adults and kids to come and train, or just puck around with friends and practice shooting goals. All you’ll need is your own stick and they’ll even provide the helmets. Key word helmets…because you and your mates will be getting stuck in for sure across the 1.5 hours session provides.

If you want to step it up a notch you can play an official game but you’ll need to bring your own gear. We hope that if you’re at this point you know what you’re doing and aren’t the ‘all the gear and no idea’ type.

So if you’ve ever watched The Mighty Ducks (trilogy..) and mucked around with roller hockey as a kid, you can now jump on the ice rather than playing NHL on the PS4.

Check out the timetables online here for the various drop in sessions.

Then all you have to do is gather your best line up for the Flying V and remember ducks fly together. Happy quacking!
