New to hockey skating?
If you’re an adult interested in playing hockey but want to first learn the fundamentals of skating, we recommend starting with our Learn to Skate (LTS) program. You’ll learn essential skills that help build confidence and control on the ice before transitioning into hockey.
What you can expect from Adult LTS:
Progressive Skill Development: Start with basics like balancing, stopping, and gliding, then advance to more complex maneuvers.
Six Levels of Instruction: Move at your own pace from beginner to advanced techniques
A Strong Foundation: Gain the agility, speed, and control needed for hockey
Upon completing Adult Learn to Skate, you’ll feel more comfortable on the ice and be ready to transition into our Adult Learn to Play (Ice Breakers) League or Clinics.
