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.
