The Boston Police Department is expanding its outreach to the community with a new twist on its Hockey Skills Program. Fresh off yet another successful event, the BPD is now introducing a program dedicated to sharpening shooting and stickhandling prowess. The announcement came after the most recent ice session, opening up more opportunities for community engagement through sports.

According to the official Boston Police Department news release, the new sessions will be held on Tuesdays at the District A-7 parking lot. This addition aims to focus on the drills that are critical to the game of hockey, particularly the art of shooting and the finesse of stickhandling. The department expressed optimism about the expansion, suggesting it will enrich the program and offer participants a chance to refine specific aspects of their game.

The Hockey Skills Program is part of a broader initiative to foster a positive relationship between the police force and local communities. It's a pathway for the officers to connect with area youth and provide them with a structured environment to develop athletically while learning important life skills. Furthermore, the program underscores an investment a local law enforcement making in the youth, banking on sports as a means of mentorship and camaraderie.

Given the enthusiastic response from past sessions, the Boston Police Department is eager to see how the new program will be received. The emphasis on crucial skills like shooting and stickhandling is expected to draw a crowd eager to improve their hockey game. The department looks forward to rolling out more updates as the program develops and continues to keep the public informed about its community outreach efforts.
