The tour is open to children of all skill levels and hockey experience. The first hour of each session will feature a clinic, followed by a 30-minute pick-up street hockey game. The clinics will be instructed by Red Wings representatives and local hockey players and coaches. Each stop on the tour will feature two sessions, one each for children ages 7-9 and 10-12.
