“We are thrilled to welcome The Hockey Barn as both a new leader in hockey development in Atlanta and an official NHL STREET operator. Atlanta represents one of the most exciting growth markets in the game, and facilities like The Hockey Barn create new opportunities for players and families to connect with hockey in ways that are accessible, fun, and community-driven. By expanding opportunities both on and off the ice, this partnership will help introduce the sport to wider audiences, strengthen local hockey pathways, and continue growing the game across the region by inspiring the next generation of players and fans.”

“Our goal is to introduce hockey to a broader audience while continuing to serve the kids who already love the game. NHL STREET creates an accessible way for a kid to pick up a stick and begin playing, but it also gives current players another environment to compete, develop creativity and sharpen their skills. It’s a new way into hockey, and a new way to get more from the game.”
Kyle Kinzie
Founder and President, The Hockey Barn

A Few Answers to Your Questions
- Do I need any hockey experience to play?None at all. NHL STREET is built for kids picking up a stick for the very first time just as much as it's built for players who already live on synthetic ice. Show up, jump in, and figure out the rest as you go.
- What does my kid need to bring?Just a stick and some comfortable clothes to move in. No skates, no pads, no stick needed, no big bag of gear to track down before you can start. That's the whole idea behind NHL STREET: fewer barriers, more hockey.
