Bridge Program (CanSkate)

The Bridge Program is designed for CanSkaters who are looking to take their skating to the next level and for those who may be interested in pursuing figure skating.

Through this program, skaters will be introduced to more advanced exercises that focus on improving edge control, glide, agility, balance, and precision on the ice. The goal is for skaters to achieve CanSkate Stage 5 by the end of the Winter season in order to be eligible for Preliminary in the Spring season. 

Participants will also be introduced to STAR 1 elements, helping to prepare them for a smooth transition into our STARSkate pathway through the Preliminary Program.

Program Requirements

To participate in the Bridge Program, skaters must:

• Have completed a minimum of CanSkate Stage 3

• Be registered in one additional regular CanSkate session at Silver Blades

• Wear a CSA-approved hockey helmet

• Have properly fitted figure skates

• Wear appropriate skating attire

To register your skater for this program, please add them to the waitlist. All waitlisted skaters will be reviewed by our CanSkate Coordinator to ensure they meet the program requirements before being accepted into the program.
