Fall 2025
This fall, we are excited to introduce single sessions with a block-session feel. We will be running three progressive development sessions in October — designed so that each session builds on the previous one. Families may register for one, two, or all three sessions.
Block 1: Powerskating
~ 15 max per session ~
Our focus will be on key elements of skating, including:
- Knee bend and proper balance
- Leaning into the laces
- Full use of the skate blade
- Building confidence through quick starts, long strides, and advanced mobility
By taking time to explain, demonstrate, and reinforce these foundations, players will develop stronger skating mechanics and overall confidence on the ice.
Session Dates: October 5th, 12th & 26th
Duration: 90 min
Location: Crystal Ridge Community Centre, Ridgeway, Ontario
