Our hockey programs in Dubai

Every player at Galaxy follows a clear path. You don't have to know where you'll end up — you just have to step on the ice. Here's how the academy is built:

Learn to skate — the foundation. For kids and adults who've never been on ice, our coaches teach balance, edges and stops until skating feels natural.
Ice hockey lessons — once you can skate, you learn to play: stickhandling, passing, shooting and reading the game, in small coached groups.
Goalie training — specialist sessions for the most demanding position on the ice, building confidence and crease technique.
Competitive pathway — age-group teams (U6 through U18) that play real games, league fixtures and international tournaments, plus our adult and Warriors sides.

It's the same academy whether your child is lacing up for the very first time or chasing a place on a travel team — coached by professionals who have played at the top of the game. Explore the full Galaxy Hockey Academy across the UAE.

The signature

Ice hockey,
in the desert.

It sounds impossible. That's exactly the point. In a city of dunes and 45°C summers, Galaxy built a home for the coldest game on earth — real indoor ice, year-round, in the heart of Dubai.

Galaxy professional coaching on the ice in Dubai

The coaches

Coached by professionals.

Our academy is led by coaches who've played and coached at the highest levels of the game. Among them, Artiom Senkevich — former Head Coach of the UAE national ice hockey team, with a playing career in the KHL and the Belarus national team.

That pedigree shapes everything on our ice: real technique, real structure, and the standards of professional hockey — passed down to every kid and adult who trains here.
