Pre CanSkate

This program is meant as a jumping off point for kids who aren't yet ready for CanSkate. The class is 30 minutess long with fewer kids on the ice, and content is geared towards 3 - 6 year olds. Children will work in one big group and practice skills on a circuit. Running this class is one NCCP certified coach and several trained Program Assistants. Skaters must be able to stand by themselves on the ice in order to register for this program. 

Mandatory Equipment

To safely participate in the Pre-CanSkate program, skaters require the following equipment:

• Proper, well-fitting skates (strongly recommend standard hockey or figure skates that lace up). Participants must have their own skates as the Powell River Skating Club is not able to provide rentals.

• CSA-approved helmet that has not expired. Bike helmets are not permitted. Participants must bring their own helmet.

• Warm sweater or jacket that is zipped up - layers are a plus!

• Gloves or mittens.
