Helmet Policy

All Skate Canada member clubs and skating schools who offer a CanSkate program must ensure all CanSkate and Adult CanSkate participants up to and including Stage 5 must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet while on the ice. Helmet face cages are highly recommended for PreCanSkate skaters. Skaters working on Stage 5 and below, as well as all skaters in the PowerSkate program, MUST wear CSA Group approved hockey helmets with the CSA mark.

Skaters working on Stage 6 or higher may choose to continue to wear a helmet at their discretion. The skater and parent/guardian have the final say as to whether or not the skater will wear a helmet.

Coaches are in charge of ensuring what a skater wears on the ice is safe. This applies to clothing, hair, skates, etc. No exceptions to this policy will be made at any time. Skaters who show up for classes without proper equipment will not be allowed on the ice.

CanSkate Equipment

• Hockey or Figure Skates
• A CSA approved helmet. A face cage is highly recommended for PreCanSkate skaters. Skaters will not be allowed on the ice with a ski or bike helmet.
• Warm layers that are easy to move around in.
• A pair of gloves or mittens.
• We do not recommend skaters wear padding (i.e. knee pads, elbow pads) as these can inhibit proper movement on the ice.

Skates

• Skates should fit snug to the foot with no movement in the heel. You want the ankle of the skate “standing tall” not “bending over”. Please also make sure skates are tied tight before stepping on the ice.
• Skates do not come pre-sharpened. Please make sure your skater’s skates are sharpened prior to their first class.
• We do not recommend skates with buckles or dials. Traditional lace up skates are highly recommended.

Skate Maintenance

• Hard guards are for walking around when not on the ice. Soft guards are for storage. Walking on the floor without protecting your blades can severely damage your skates.
• Please make sure to dry your blades off after every session with a small towel.
