Some beginner skaters may not last the entire hour, but
as they learn more and their attention span continues
to increase, their skill level will also.
Most children should be able to skate by themselves after
the first 3-4 sessions.
Equipment Required: Skates, Stick, Neck guard, H.E.C.C.
approved helmet with facemask, elbow pads, Shin/knee pads,
hockey gloves or heavy mittens, hockey pants are recommended
(since they fall quite often) but if a child does not
have hockey pants, snow pants will do.
The Pro Shop at the Scottsville Ice Arena (SCIA) has
beginner packages available - with professional fitting
included.
Parents of beginners are not allowed on the ice or to
sit on the bench. If parents would like to volunteer on
the ice, they should have some skating and hockey experience
and be willing to become a certified coach.
Parents are welcome to sit in the “Warm Room”
upstairs, the bleachers, Rink Side snack bar area, or
the Top Shelf Grill, also upstairs. All areas offer great
viewing of the ice.
For more information you can leave a message at the rink
at 889-1810 ext. 3 or you can call the program directors,
Kevin & Ann Marie Clar at 889-9470.
