PreCanSkate is a fun and supportive program designed for our youngest beginners, offering a gentle introduction to the sport of skating. This program focuses on developing the basic skills needed to skate confidently, including how to stand, fall safely, get back up, find balance, and move forward on the ice. Through a playful and engaging approach, PreCanSkate helps skaters build strength, coordination, and confidence in a positive environment.

With the guidance of experienced, certified coaches, skaters are encouraged to take their first steps in skating, while building the foundational skills required for CanSkate and beyond, where they will refine these abilities and develop greater control. PreCanSkate is all about making learning enjoyable, creating the perfect foundation for a lifelong love of skating.

PreCanSkate is generally recommended for skaters aged 3 to 5 years. This age range ensures that participants are at an ideal developmental stage for the skills and activities introduced in the program.

PreCanSkate Requirements:
All PreCanSkate participants must have their own skates and a CSA-certified hockey helmet, which is mandatory. Skaters may wear either hockey skates or figure skates, based on personal preference. A face cage is optional, but strongly recommended for younger skaters for added protection.
