Helmet regulations

Public drop-in skating

CSA approved helmets are highly recommended for all participants. Everyone 12 years and under is required to wear a helmet during all public skating sessions.

Hockey & Learn to Skate

CSA approved helmets are mandatory. No bike helmets will be allowed on the ice during lessons.

Helmet and skate rentals are available at our skate shops.

Learn to Skate

Register your skater in the appropriate age group at the lesson time that works best for your family. We’ll assess their skill on the first day and slot them into the level that’s perfect for your child. Lessons are based on physical literacy concepts and focus on the ABCs (Agility, Balance, and Coordination, with Speed, and fun). View the Learn to Skate Brochure.

  • Sharpen skate blades prior to the first day of lessons. New skates do not come sharpened.
  • Skate sharpening is available at our skate shops.
First day of lessons
Arrive 30 minutes before your lesson, to allow enough time to get your child’s equipment on or secure rentals. We ask that a guardian remains in the building during all lessons. For safety reasons staff are unable to leave the ice and assist your child.

Please meet instructors in the skate lobby.

Please bring any previous skating report cards on the first day of lessons to help place your child in the appropriate lesson level.
