Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I provide my own skates?
A: YES! Head to our EQUIPMENT page for more info on what you need!
Q: Where can I register?
A: Please head to OUR PROGRAMS to see what programs might fit your child's ability. Then click on REGISTRATION to register your skater.
Q: I want to plan ahead, are there dates to mark?
YES! Head to our CALENDAR for all important dates.
Q: Why didn't my child get a report card?
A: We don't provide report cards for less than 6 attended classes. This allows the majority of skaters the time to develop further in their skillset.
Q: Do I have to wear a helmet?
A: Yes. A CSA-CERTIFIED HOCKEY HELMET is required for everyone participating in our Learn To Skate programs (PreCanSkate, CanSkate, Junior Academy, Star Prep, Special Olympic).
Q: I see kids wearing the fluffy headbands. When can my skater wear that?
A: Once your skater has passed the Stage 5 CanSkate level, then it is the choice of the parent/skater if they want to continue wearing the helmet. Another alternative for when you reach this level is an Ice Halo. Purchased at: Ice Halo, click to go directly to the page.
Q: I already paid the Skate Canada number, why am I paying again?
A: The Skate Canada membership is paid annually in September. All skaters and coaches of Skate Canada sanctioned clubs are required to pay membership annually.
Q: My skater is missing a class, can I make it up or get a refund for the class missed?
A: Our program is a pre-registered program, not a drop-in program. All classes are non-refundable.
