Fall Learn to Hockey Skate & Ranger Rookies

Registration for our Fall Sessions is NOW OPEN.

Online Registration for Learn to Hockey Skate and Jr & Lady Ranger Rookies Programs is done through the Hockey Canada site, called Spordle.  If your child does not have a Hockey Canada account, you will need to create a new one.  Please reach out to our office at [email protected] if you have trouble with Spordle.   The account you create will be your child's Hockey Canada account for their entire hockey career.  If you are asked for a birth certificate and proof of address, you can supply these documents, or you can select "Next" to skip at this time, as they are not required for the Learn to Skate or Ranger Rookie programs.

Our Programs

Learn to Hockey Skate: Is a fundamental program designed for the new/beginner skaters ages, 4 to 8 and up. This program is designed to teach a non-skater and develop the basics of balance, stride and stopping on Hockey skates. This program is designed for players in full Hockey gear to allow them to feel like Hockey players while being protected on the ice from falls that would normally hurt their knees or behinds.

Jr & Lady Ranger Rookies Programs: Helps develop young players, ages 4 to 8 and up, by introducing them to basic skating and puck handling drills. The player must be able to skate efficiently on their own with a basic skating stride (without a parent or skating aid) to participate in this program. A player that simply stands on the ice with minimal movement or shuffling of their feet should be in the Learn-to-Skate program, and not this program.  Skating aids are not permitted in this program.
