What should my child wear?

• All skaters up to Stage 5 inclusive MUST wear a CSA-approved hockey helmet. A cage is recommended for all skaters.
• Bike, ski, and skate/snowboarding helmets are NOT allowed.
• Do not over dress for lessons, as the rink can be warm. *****
• Mittens/gloves are needed on the ice. (Please no CHENILLE gloves)
• Elbow and Knee pads are not necessary 

What type of skates should I buy, and how should they fit?

• To ensure skaters enjoy and benefit from their lessons, skates should fit properly, provide strong ankle support, be tied tightly around the ankle and instep, and be sharpened. 
• Avoid plastic molded skates and do not remove picks from figure skates.
• If you have questions regarding equipment, please speak to one of our professional coaches. 

Where do I watch my child's lesson?

• No parents are permitted in the players’ benches or penalty box at any time. All parents are asked to observe from the stands.
• Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are parents allowed to step foot on the ice during the Canskate session. This may result in your skater's immediate removal from the program. 
• If you have any questions, please email the club.
