First-Day PreCanSkate and CanSkate Checklist

Thank you for choosing Silver Blades! We are looking forward to having your child take skating lessons with us. Here is a reminder about essential on-ice items: 

  • Skaters must wear a CSA-approved hockey helmet—any other type of helmet is not sufficient
  • Skaters must wear gloves or mittens for safety
  • Sharpened skates (hockey skates or figure skates are equally fine at the CanSkate levels)

All of these items are required to be allowed on the ice.

Water-resistant bottoms such as snowpants are highly recommended for at least the first few sessions of PreCanSkate. Skaters should dress warmly for our sessions in layers; however, some items such as long drawstrings, scarves, dangling coat belts, etc. can be a hazard on
the ice and should be avoided. Please come prepared!

We use bingo dabber markers to draw circuits on the ice which may get on your children's clothing, but easily washes out. 

Before the first class, please allow yourself 15 minutes to arrive, obtain your child's name label, and get ready for the session.
