Sept 2018 - June 2019 Skating Information and Instructions

Fundraising Information:

Fundraising is not currently mandatory for our skating club. HOWEVER, the club sincerely appreciates all the families who participate in fundraising events throughout the year. In the past few years our fundraising efforts have helped to fund the following items: new sound system, new jumping harness, subsidies for Master Classes, subsidies for Team Wear, subsidies for out of town competition expenses, new supplies for CanSkate including the parachute, subsidies for test days, subsidies for team building events, therabands for off-ice, year end parties - just to name a few! Fundraising also helps to keep everyone’s fees lower as some of the items (like the new sound system) are mandatory and if we didn’t have fundraising money to purchase these items the fees would have to go up in order to afford them. A HUGE thanks goes out to all the families who have raised thousands of dollars for the club in the last few years!! Your support is greatly appreciated.

PRE-CANSKATE PRE-REQUISITES

Basic listening capabilities and ability to follow instructions at a level typical for a 3 to 5 year old child.

Demonstrates the ability to respect authority figures.

As parents are NOT ALLOWED on the ice, your child must feel comfortable about being away from mom/dad for 30 mins, having experience in a daycare/day home/playschool may help.

All you need are skates, a CSA-approved hockey helmet, long pants, mittens, warm sweater or jacket. Dress in layers – it will get warm!

***A CSA approved helmet is MANDATORY for all CanSkaters and JumpSTAR skaters working on levels up to and including Stage 5.

Once skaters have reached Stage 6, they can choose with their parent if they would like to continue wearing a helmet but we recommend wearing one until they move into Preliminary. The helmet must have a "CSA Approved" sticker on it or the skater will not be allowed on the ice. This is for insurance purposes. Thank you for understanding.

Ski helmets are generally not CSA approved which is a common misconception.
