Learn skating technique, have some fun!
Suitable for:
Beginner Figure Skaters - Come & try figure-skating! Learn foundational skills and see if figure-skating is for you.
Hockey Players* - Want to improve your edgework? Learn technique and some helpful drills to take your skating to the next level!
Recreational Skaters - You're a casual skater, but you just want to learn some cool skating tricks? Join us!
You will need to be able to stand unassisted on the ice and move forward on your own. You can still benefit from this event, even if you've had a few seasons experience as a skater! We will be sharing the ice, however, attendees will be grouped by experience and interest, with recreational and figure-skaters in one half, and hockey players down the other end. Each group will have an experienced coach and multiple helpers to support our skaters!
Rental skates (figure and hockey options) and protective gear will be available to those who need them. Please arrive a minimum of 20mins before the start of the event, to get your skates fitted. Our volunteers have many jobs on the day, and may not have time to help you with skates if you are late.
*It is recommended that hockey players wear their full protective gear, as the hockey skating drills have intensive and explosive elements. Sticks are not required, but can be helpful to train with. There will be no pucks due to shared ice.
