Pre-CanSkate

This 30-minute class is designed for preschool aged children (ages 3 and 4) who have little or no skating experience.

CSA Approved Hockey Helmets are required for all participants in this program.

About Pre-CanSkate

Pre-CanSkate groups are a component of CanSkate. Pre-CanSkate participants work on the essentials needed to move safely and effectively on the ice, allowing them to rotate to the different learning stations. There are eight basic elements designed to prepare skaters for Stage 1 of CanSkate:

  • Fall down & get up

  • Balance on two feet

  • Move forwards

  • Make Snow

  • Move backwards

  • Two-foot twist

  • 360 degree march

  • Two-foot jump

Once a Pre-CanSkate participant achieves their Pre-CanSkate ribbon they will move onto our 50-minute class (note there is a pro-rated cost increase at this point). This may require them to change groups or remain in the same group depending on the session and how other skaters are progressing in their group.
