Helmet Policy

As per the policy defined by SKATE CANADA; all CanSkate and Adult CanSkate participants up to and including Stage 5 must wear a CSA-approved hockey helmet while on the ice. This policy also applies to all other Skate Canada programs, therefore anyone who lacks good control/balance when skating forward, backward and has difficulty stopping, as well as maneuvering around obstacles on the ice, must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet. This policy will be enforced during all skating activities including competitions, carnival days or any other special on ice activities throughout the season for this level of skater. Face masks are not mandatory, however are recommended for beginner skaters.
