Welcome to CANSKATE :)

Welcome To Canskate!
Welcome to the Espanola Skating Club to new and
returning skate members!

First Day of Canskate:   Monday September 21th 2015
First Day of Pre-Canskate:  Thursday September 24th, 2015

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:

When you arrive at the arena, stop by our table to sign in your skater and
pick up their name tag.  You will be assigned a dressing room to use.

Due to the space constraints, only one adult per skater is permitted in the dressing room.

Skaters should be changed and ready to go on the ice 5 minutes ahead of the start session.  Bathroom breaks are encouraged before getting on the ice.

Skaters are to wait in their assigned dressing room until the Coach or Program Assistant arrives.  Do not wait in the hallway or lobby.

Please keep in mind that in order to provide your skater with the best learning experience, we ask that all family members take a seat in the stands.  It is distracting to the skaters and makes it difficult for the Coaches and Program Assistants to keep the skater’s attention.

While on the ice, if your skater needs to exit the ice surface, they will be accompanied to the door by a Coach or Program Assistant where you can meet them at the door, to see their needs, and return them to the door re-entry to the ice surface.  Please do not open the ice surface doors or enter the ice surface.

Please remember this is a new experience to most, and tears are to be expected for a while.  Allowing the Coaches a few weeks to do their job will eliminate most of those tears and apprehensions.

Have a great skate!
