**NO BEGINNERS PLEASE!  These sessions are not appropriate for beginner level players.  Our definition of a beginner is player who does not yet have the basic skating skills down yet (stops/starts, crossovers, tight turns, backwards skating, basic puck control & edge work).  We assume all players attending sessions have these basics down.  All practices and skills sessions are designed with that assumption.  If you have any questions regarding this or age groups do not hesitate to contact Mark at mark@markzarbohockey.com.

Please contact us if any questions on age groups!

Flexible Player Sign Up!

Players are able to pick and choose the sessions they would like to attend as well as any combination of sessions.  Discounts are offered based on number of sessions chosen.  See above for discounts and costs.  If a date does not show up on the sign-up form, it means it has been filled. Sign up form is at the VERY bottom of the page.

—

Family Multi-Player Discounts!

Families signing up multiple players up for skill sessions can add the total number of sessions signing up for together.  This will get them to per session discounted rates faster.  Example if a family has 2 players and sign each up for 6 sessions for a total of 12 sessions, the cost of each is $28/session and not $30/session (savings of $24).

—

Sign Ups Add Together Throughout Season!

If you sign your player(s) up for sessions to start the season and then decide to add more later sessions later and it puts you into another discount tier then that new discounted rate would apply to all sessions, even if some dates have already passed.  This new discount would be taken into account on the new total.  Example, if you original signed your player up for 5 sessions ($33/session, $165 total) and then add more 5 sessions at another time, it would now be 10 total sessions ($30/session, $300 total – $165 previous paid = $135 balance).

Note, the adding together of sessions only lasts for that season of dates and resets each new season.  In addition, if a player cancels sessions, then the cost per session would revert to whatever discount tier is appropriate per session.

–

NOTE: This discounted rate will NOT show up on the confirmation invoice email sent after signing up.  It will be taken off your total after sign-up form is received and reviewed.  Our system is unable to automatically apply discounts across different programs.  We will email you to confirm the discount and new total if this discount applies to your sign up!

Cancellation policy!

Players cancelling more than 7 days in advance of the scheduled session automatically can move the session to another open date or receive a credit for the cost of that specific session to use to any program we have at any time. If less cancelling less than 7 days prior to a session Mark Zarbo Hockey has to be able to find a player to replace your player’s spot to be able to move or issue a credit. We do not credit for cancels less then 24 hours in advance of a skills session, unless the player is able to find their own spot replacement.  Players are allowed to find their own replacement at any time to receive credit and is very much appreciated.  If a player finds their own replacement, they must contact Mark Zarbo Hockey and inform them of the change.  This policy is adopted due to these skill sessions being small numbers of players and includes cancellations due to sickness or injury.

–

Winter Weather Policy!

Please note that with winter weather, sessions are only cancelled if the rink is closed and/or a driving ban is in place for the city or town the rink is located.  If a session is ever cancelled by Mark Zarbo Hockey, all players in that session will be contacted directly as well as the cancellation posted on social media.  Any cancelled sessions by Mark Zarbo Hockey would constitute a refund or credit to that player. A player missing a schedule session due to weather would not constitute a refund or credit unless it adheres to the cancellation policy above.

Please note that Nichols Rink & Nichols School are separate entities.   If Nichols cancels school, it does not mean the rink is closed.  Most rinks only close if there is a travel ban in place in the town/city they are located.  Travel safely and at your own risk! Follow Mark Zarbo Hockey on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram for latest information!
