Pre-CanSkate
Important
All skaters are required to come to the arena prepared with:
- Skates
- Helmet
- Warm clothes (coat, snow pants, gloves)
- A good learning attitude
Skaters must be prepared to work for 30mins, coaches and assistants will be near at all times to help, ability will not be a deteriating factor.
Please note: If skaters are unable to cooperate and/or show aggressive behavior towards our coaches, other skaters, or themselves we do ask parents to have them come back the following season. This includes but is not limited to; tantrums, kicking, hitting, screaming, crying, un-cooperative behavior, etc.
