How does one start a hockey program?

Our local rink does not have a hockey program, but has ice time and is looking for someone to step up. Where would I go to get information regarding setting up a program? I thought maybe starting with hockey skating and skills+drills, then move on to fielding teams dependent on level of players who sign up. This would be a long term project. We're in Illinois, if that makes any difference.|||Contact Community Services/Parks and Recreation in your town and see if they have any information..contact other areas where they have a successful program.|||One must first rub horse poop on his head and wait for inspiration|||start with trying to set up an open ice day where people could show up and try it out and if there is a good turn out go from there
