• Where is it? ImOn Ice Arena (1100 Rockford Rd SW, Cedar Rapids).

• When is it? The Try Hockey For Free clinic is this Saturday, November 5th. This event has two sessions, 4:00-5:00 p.m. or 5:15-6:15 p.m.

• Who can sign up for this clinic? ImOn Ice Arena officials say that these two sessions are open to local youth between the ages of 4 to 9 years old.

• Do my kids need to bring anything? Nope. Officials say that no hockey equipment is needed. If you do sign your kids up, they should bring a bike helmet, a jacket or long sleeve shirt, long socks, and a pair of winter gloves. There is ice so it's going to be a little chilly out there.
