This FREE clinic is geared toward beginner to intermediate adult (18+) skaters/goalies and is open to both our Womens+ and co-rec members. As defined by the Chicago Wolves, a “celly” (short for celebration) is a player’s expression of joy and excitement after scoring a goal. Check out some examples from PWHL and NHL.

This clinic will spend time learning how to fall on the ice and get back up quickly, which is a skill that will improve your game and just be really fun to do for an hour on a Sunday night. The drills are great practice for goalies and we will have some goalie specific skills to practice as well. At the end of the clinic, everyone will debut their new Celly for the world to see!

Details:

Sunday January 4th 2026 from 4:00-5:00pm on the Outdoor Rink
Cost: Free!
Participant cap: 25
Coaches: Tracy and Colter Elam
This clinic is for adult WHAM+ (including co-rec members) who are 18 or older

Here’s a special event at the glacier ice rink that you can attend to help with Missoula Youth Hockey!

WHAM+’s hearts are broken in a million pieces. Skyla Sisco is a beloved community member, business leader, Ultimate Frisbee player, hockey player, Lady Griz Hall of Fame standout, and member of WHAM+. Her athletic greatness pales in comparison to the incredible impact she had on those around her. We, among so many, are grieving her loss and celebrating her beautiful, fierce, and loving life-force that so many of us were lucky to share with her. Our thoughts go to her family, friends, and all who loved her.

Here’s a teaser of the chalk talk video for the scrimmage this Sunday 10/26 at 8:30-10:30pm with Gary Swain and Greg Sween! Go check out the video through this link -> https://youtu.be/ntU7wcvmWUc

Before the coached scrimmage on Sunday October 26, be sure to watch through this chalk talk from NHL Legend Garry Swain and Legendary coach Greg Steen! Soak up this invaluable advice and tips about positioning, strategy, and etiquette. Below are the points covered in the video!

1. Hockey is best as a team. Be aware of where your other teammates are on the ice to pass to them or support them. (Head on a swivel)

2. Be a part of the play. Go for the puck if you are in position to retrieve it. If your teammate is on the puck, anticipate and move to an open space on the ice to get a pass.

3. Defense wins games. On defense, your job is to cut off time and space. You can use your body to get in the way of the player with the puck (see videos)

4. In the defensive zone, keep focus on the player attacking the goal to get in their way and cause chaos. Don't worry about the puck. Your teammates will get the puck.

5. On offense, your job is to get to the puck, get open, and get to the net. Be aware of where your teammates are so that one person is going to the puck, one is at the top of the kitchen, and one is back of net or on at the net.

6. On offense, most shots are made from the kitchen (area in front of the goal). Even on breakaways, only 20% of first shots get in. Be ready and in position for the rebound and second shot.

7. Short shifts. Each shift should be 45 seconds to 1:30 max! Hustle on your shift. If you are tired, get off. If you are not tired, get off. On defense, if the puck is stuck in your zone and everyone is tired, intentionally ice the puck to get a shift change

This Sunday 10/26 NHL Legend Gary Swain is coaching WHAM+’s Winter Season Opening Scrimmage 8:30PM-10:30PM in the Outdoor Rink! Winter Teams will be rotating through for a half hour scrimmage!

Here are the Scrimmage times for the Gary Swain Scrimmage on Sunday 10/26! There will also be a Gear Swap at 7:30pm where you can bring gear of all sorts and swap/give to your fellow players!
Please go on whammt.org to watch the chalk talk video that Gary Swain and Coach Greg Sween made for the scrimmage!

What a fun way to start Winter season! Thank you all for coming and we hope you had lots of fun with your new teams!
