Learn to Skate SUNDAY PROGRAM - ONLINE July 15th 2026 @2pm

Learn to Skate (LTS)

Learn to Skate is where it all begins. This program is for brand new skaters who are stepping on the ice for the first time (or close to it). Our coaches keep it fun, safe, and high-energy - kids fall, they get back up, and before long they are moving on their own. No pressure, no rushing - just real progress at their pace, in a positive environment where every little win gets celebrated.

Players graduate to Foundations when they can:

✅ Skate unassisted across the rink (width, not full rink)

✅ Get up on their own after a fall

✅ Glide on their own

Best for: First time skaters and beginners who are not yet skating on their own.

LEARN TO SKATE - REQUIRED EQUIPMENT: CSA approved helmet with a cage, winter mitts or hockey gloves to protect their hands, single blade hockey skates, snow pants and jacket that are flexible and easy moving, elbow and shin pads are highly suggested.

• For new skaters - U3, U4, U5, U6, U7 - min 2 years old, Max 7 years old
• 1:1 player-to-coach ratio to provide personalized instruction. However, actual ratios may vary based on participant skill levels and coach availability.
• Balance & walking on the ice while using a skating aid
• Safely falling down and getting up on their own
• Transition to removal of skating aid
• One foot balance, shuffle steps, spins, and shaving the ice
• T-push, pushing friends on chairs, 2 foot glides, 1 foot glides, turning & C-cuts
• Students will move at their own pace.
• A lot of FUN & GAMES mixed with skill development!

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.

*Parents & Caregivers of players are encouraged to remain unseen by player until their child is happy to be on the ice with their parents watching them.*

Once our players have gotten the hang of things they will graduate into our LEARN TO PLAY FOUNDATIONS class at the same or similar time to our LEARN TO SKATE class.
