PROPER SKATING ATTIRE & EQUIPMENT: We recommend that you purchase:

* Single bladed, leather lace up skates rather than the moulded skates. Figure or hockey skates.
* DO NOT purchase the style of skates that have one or two straps instead of the laces * CSA approved hockey or skating helmets are MANDATORY.
* No bicycle helmets, trailing scarves, elbow or knee pads required. * When purchasing new or used skates, please make sure to sharpen them as they DO NOT come sharpened. * Make sure skaters go to the bathroom before class time.
* Wear snow pants, jacket & gloves. REMEMBER that it is cool in the arena but as they move around they will warm up. No jeans as this restricts movement.
