5/5
"Rocket Ice- My son learned to skate and learned to play hockey in the Rocket Ice Program. He started in level one, worked his way up to level four and now he is doing well in the Sabres. The Rocket Ice instructors are excellent. They taught Scott so much about skating and hockey and they all had fun doing it! They do a really great job of keeping the kids interest- keep it up."
