How to Play Hockey in Brazil

A practical guide for beginners, newcomers to Brazil, and parents looking to get their child into the sport.

  1. 1
    Learn to skate first
    Most hockey players in Brazil start with skating lessons. Many rinks run learn-to-skate programs for ages 3+ that teach the basics of balance, edges, and stopping — the foundations of hockey.
  2. 2
    Try a learn-to-play clinic
    Most local rinks and clubs run learn-to-play programs for beginners. These typically run 6–8 weeks, provide loaner equipment, and cost between $50–$300. Browse rinks above and contact one directly to ask about upcoming sessions.
  3. 3
    Join a youth or adult recreational team
    After learn-to-play, most players in Brazil join a house league or recreational team. These run weekly practices and games at the local rink and are the most common entry point to organized hockey.
  4. 4
    Register with the national federation
    Most countries require player registration with the national ice hockey federation. In the US this is USA Hockey, in Canada it's Hockey Canada, and in Europe each country has its own federation. Registration is typically annual and includes insurance.
  5. 5
    Progress through the development pathway
    Talented players in Brazil typically progress through age-group teams (U8, U10, U12...) into travel or select teams, then junior leagues, and eventually professional or collegiate hockey. The pathway differs by country but generally follows the IIHF development model.
