A specially designed program with a strong element of play for children ages 3 to 5 years old. Group lesson format, teaching basic movement on the ice. The more independent skaters in this group work on CanSkate Stages 1 and upward.
C.S.A. approved HOCKEY HELMETS WITH FULL FACE PROTECTION are MANDATORY for all Pre-CanSkaters.
Private lessons are available to skaters who wish to progress more quickly and/or would like to work on problem areas. Private lessons are offered during 10-minute sessions immediately before or after most CanSkate sessions, or during the first or last 10 minutes of a CanSkate session. Private lessons must be taken from one of the Club’s Professional Coaches, on a first come first served basis; parents may select their choice of Professional Coach (see list in this brochure) or have one assigned to their skater. The private lessons are completely flexible – weekly, once per month, or whatever suits your needs. The lessons are open to all levels of skaters, but are strongly recommended for skaters in Pre-StarSkate. Lessons must be reserved at least a week in advance and can be arranged at the ASC volunteer desk in the lobby. Please speak with an ASC volunteer for more details.
