Active Living Day was introduced to allow students to try new sports and activities for free. Every Fall and Winter semester we will offer a variety of activities, from yoga classes to rock climbing; there is something for everyone. 

From beginner to advanced, we have a variety of co-ed power skating and hockey skills classes to choose from. Our physical literacy approach will increase your confidence on the ice, and you will learn or improve all the basic skills to fully enjoy the game of hockey.

In these power skating and hockey skills classes we will focus on fundamental skating skills, from stopping to crossovers, and help you develop good habits to help you improve your hockey game. The higher levels will include strength, conditioning and stamina components, as well as more advanced skating skills. The hockey skills will teach individual and team puck skills, full ice drills, and fun, non-contact scrimmages.

Choose from level 1, 2 or 2/3!
Please register for the appropriate level for you as opposed to the ice schedule. 


 

With a parent, kids will learn how to balance, fall down and get up, walk forwards and backwards while having fun and playing games. Parents may wear shoes on the ice instead of skates, but they must be clean, indoor shoes. Each child must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

For kids under 6 who can fall down, get up, move around on the ice without assistance.

If your child has passed Kinderskate, he or she will continue to develop their skills with other eager skaters as they learn things like bubbles, skating forwards and backwards with speed, and gliding on one foot with balance.

New skaters or those moving on from Tots Skate will enjoy this introductory lesson. Grouped according to ability, they will learn how to move forwards, backwards, stop and glide with balance.

For Kids Skate 1 graduates, skaters will improve existing skills and learn new ones like t-pushes, bubbles and skating with more speed.

For Kids Skate 2 graduates, Emphasis in this level is backwards skating and stopping. Skaters will also learn how to turn from forwards to backwards and glide on a curve.

For Kids Skate 3 graduates, Kids will learn how to do more advanced skills like crossovers, c-cuts, 3-turns, and edge control.

For Kids Skate 4 graduates, 3-turns and crossovers are the focus, but skaters will also improve their edge control and balance.

This is where skaters will learn backwards crossovers, Mohawk turns, 3-jumps, and where they will improve skills learned in the previous level.

The focus in this level is on edge control, and learning how to connect steps and turns.

This final level has skaters doing tricky skills like shoot the ducks, waltzing turns, and figure eight crossovers.

Never been on skates before? Has it been too long? Terrified of falling? In small groups, you will learn at your own pace. Focus is on balance, falling down and getting up, moving forwards, gliding, and building confidence on ice.

Once you can glide, snowplow stop, and walk backwards, this level 2 class will introduce intermediate skills like one foot glides, edges, side stops and backwards c-cuts.
