Come and try speed skating!
We have a one-hour trial skate session one Sunday each month during our Beginner group practice, starting at 6:15pm. If you can skate unassisted around the rink on hockey or figure skates, then you will probably make the transition to speed skates. We find that younger kids who can already skate to some degree transition easily as the blades aren't that much longer on little boots.
Please fill-out and bring this form and a drop-in fee of $10/skater.
A few things you will need to speed skate:
The club has a small amount of extra safety equipment that we can lend for the trial skate but we can't fit everyone, so please bring as much of your own equipment as possible.
Please let us know when you will be coming.
