To encourage grassroots players, the RAFIHA created the Learn To Play (LTP) training camp which is scheduled on several occasions throughout the year at the Telford ice rink. LTP allows grassroots personnel to receive focused coaching over a 3-day period, cumulating in a full game allowing personnel to practice what they have learnt. These camps provide individuals with the opportunity to try ice hockey and ascertain whether they wish to train with one of the regional teams and aspire to play for the RAF Aces or the all-women’s RAF Pumas team.

RAF ice hockey is about teamwork, resilience, mental well-being and professionalism, but fundamental it is about the bringing together of personnel who have a common passion for chasing a puck around the ice and having fun.
