What equipment is needed for Pre-CanSkate?
Helmet: CSA approved helmets are mandatory for all Pre-CanSkaters
Skates: We recommend “lace-up” skates as they provide the best support, allow proper movement, and accommodate an adjustable fit. The skate’s boot must be firm and must provide support to the foot and ankle.
Warm clothing: Skaters should dress warmly and comfortably in layers to enjoy their skating experience. Snow pants or nylon pants over top layers of clothing are a good idea as they provide warmth and dryness during the session.
