Do you recommend learning in hockey skates?
It’s easier for first time skaters to learn in figure skates because they are longer which provides the skater with more stability. For your convenience, rental figure skates are included with your registration fee. If you would like to purchase your own skates, please see our skate shop manager.
What happens if I can’t make a class?
Program fees are NON-REFUNDABLE after the first class. No make-up classes will be issued for classes missed.
