Learning how to skate by playing!
We are so excited to be bringing this program back to our community.
Our 2021-22 Season starts the week of October 10, 2021. You can choose to participate Monday and/or Wednesday @ 4:00 PM. We also offer full-season or half-season options for your convenience.
Registration for the up-and-coming 2021-22 season will be open in August 2021.
The Pre-CanSkate program is an un-parented program designed for children 3 to 5 years of age, who have never skated before or who are not yet confident on the ice.
- This program teaches children the basics of how to get up and fall properly, how to move forward and backward, basic balance movements, and how to stop
- Lessons are taught by Skate Canada Certified Professional Coaches and Trained Program Assistants in a group format
- These sessions are shorter in length (30 minutes) to accommodate the younger skater
- Skaters will learn in an energetic, fun environment using skating aids and toys with the goal of having fun
- Children must be toilet trained
- Once a participant has gained confidence and shown skill in gliding on each foot, stopping, and getting up from a down position they can move on to the CanSkate program
- Skaters are to be dressed warmly for classes including waterproof mitts or gloves. Snow Pants are also recommended
- Approved CSA hockey helmets are mandatory, and children will not be permitted on the ice without one
The deadline to register for the Fall Program is October 6, 2021
