Our Learn to Skate Program class is about getting students having fun in their skates and acclimatized with the ice, the equipment, and the sounds of hockey.
Once our players have gotten the hang of things they will graduate into our LEARN TO PLAY class at the same time and on the same ice as our LEARN TO SKATE class.
