General Information:

On the first day of a session, arrive at least 20 mins prior to class to check in and receive a nametag and a Public Session Pass. The pass allows students to skate during our Sunday Public Session, free of charge.

Class assignments are subject to change as per the Skating Director.

Helmets and gloves are mandatory for all beginners, adults included. Bike helmets are acceptable.  We do not provide helmets.  Clothing should be warm and comfortable. We suggest snow pants or snow suits for little ones.

Skates must be tied properly.  All hooks and holes should be used with laces pulled snug.

 

We recommend beginner hockey students wear figure skates for the first few classes before switching to hockey skates, as they allow the skater to get his/her balance much quicker than hockey skates. 
Note: as your skater progresses, we suggest adding on hockey equipment slowly.  The Initiation Program, the "next step", requires full equipment.

  In the event of a serious snow storm, the school may be closed.  An alert message will be placed on the home page of our website:  thepavilion.org

 

Discounts are available for families who are skating 3 or more groups per session & for those who wish to pay for the year in advance.

Registered students cannot bring others onto the ice during skate school hours. Failure to comply with result in elimination of the registered students from the skate school program.
