Program Requirements and Additional Fees

PRESTAR to STAR 5 & UP

Skaters must be assessed by and receive approval from our Head Coach prior to registering for PreStar or Star 1 to 5 & Up. For each new season, skaters will register in their assigned categories as communicated by email.

To ensure continuing development, the recommended frequency for skaters is a minimum of two times a week.

CANSKATE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Skaters must be at least three (3) years of age, are able to participate independently and be able to use the washrooms by themselves. A parent or guardian must be on site during the entire lesson. Volunteers and coaches are not permitted in the washrooms with the skaters.

CanSkaters are required to have their own skates and their own CSA-approved hockey or skating helmet. Rentals of ice skates and helmets are NOT available from Hillcrest Centre during Riley Park CanSkate lesson times. Skaters are also required to wear mittens/gloves for warmth and safety/health protection. We recommended skaters to dress warmly by wearing long pants and a sweater and/or jacket.
