Figure skating

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn How it Works!

What equipment will the skater need for Canskate/PreCanskate?

Skaters will need to have the following equipment:

1. CSA approved hockey helmet

2.  Proper fitting figure skate or hockey skate.  We do not recommend plastic or adjustable skate

3. All skates must be sharpened prior to the session start

4. Proper clothing-layering is best.  We do not recommend snowsuits or pants.  Consider jogging pants and a light waterproof pant.

5. Gloves or mittens

Proper equipment is essential to becoming skilled in most sports and skating is no exception! Skaters cannot lean skills unless their skates fit well and support their ankles.  If your child cannot walk across the floor holding his/her ankles straight, then it is unlikely that he/she will be any better on the ice.

It is important to remember that learning to skate should be a fun and successful experience. It should not be lessened by poor quality equipment or physical discomfort. A well thought out purchase of good skates will encourage enthusiasm and excitement in anyone learning to skate.
