Yes! Our PowerSkating program has grown quickly and may reach the maximum number of skaters. We do start a waiting list when a session fills, but it is best to register early to guarantee a spot.

We accept late registrations for any of our sessions if space permits. Please feel free to register for a session where space is available. Our prices automatically pro-rate each week. 

Credits or refunds are issued when a medical certificate can be provided by the parent.

Due to the size of our program, we are not able to provide make-up classes or refunds  for sessions missed due to illness or vacation.

Not all children feel comfortable on the ice right away. It may take a few sessions before your child settles in to skating.

If you find your child is still not happy after a few sessions, please talk to your coach and ask their advice. Our full refund policy can be found at: Policies

YES! CSA Approved hockey helmets must be worn by skaters in the PowerSkate program. at all times!

Bike and ski helmets will not be acceptable. Canadian Tire offers a complete line of CSA approved hockey helmets for purchase.

Face masks are not mandatory; however sticks are used in the program so they are highly recommended.

Hockey skates, hockey/ringette stick and gloves are required for the PowerSkating Program. These can be purchased at most sports retailers. 

It is recommended that skaters wear their full hockey or ringette gear. 

Skating lessons are a fun and exciting challenge for young children. Our Skate Canada Certified Professional Coaches are fun and enthusiastic individuals who are committed to providing quality skating programs for our members.  

Skaters are placed in groups according to skating ability and age.  It usually takes a few weeks to assess all of the groups and move skaters according to their ability, so please be patient, and we will check every child to make sure they are in the right group and move skaters when necessary.

Skaters will receive an assessment sheet twice during the season, once before our December Holiday break and once at the end of the season.
