PrePowerSkate & PowerSkate

PrePowerskate

PrePowerSkate is the next step for your child if they have a desire to play hockey or ringette. Here they will learn all the necessary skills to get them moving in their hockey or ringette games! The players will learn everything from forwards and backwards cross cuts to pivots and other skills required to become great players! The session is structured in a mini-power skating setting so that your player will get lots of skating time in before that next big game! Helmets with face mask, elbow pads, shin pads, neck protector, gloves and stick are required. Directed by a Professional Club coach. Skaters must have some skating background.

Monthly Calendar is now on line!

Due to temporary technical difficulties, the February calendar will be handed out during ice times. Skating times are normal for the first week of February. We apologize for any inconvenience.
