PreCanSkate

PreCanSkate is an un-parented, readiness program for participants who have never skated before or who are not confident with their balance on the ice. Skaters will learn how to get up and stand on the ice with balance, move forward, move backwards and stop.  

Skaters require a CSA-approved hockey helmet with a cage and their own skates.

Our PreCanSkate sessions are instructed by Skate Canada Certified Professional Coaches and delivered in a group format. All ice and coaching costs are included in the registration price.

Skaters must be 3 years of age as of program start date.
