Elbow pads, knee pads and gloves are strongly recommended. Other equipment and pads are fine, however not mandatory.

Winter Lodge sells hockey skates, sticks and helmets!

Skating Level Requirements:

  PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING!

Skater must have passed at least the required skating level and be able to perform these moves confidently in hockey skates.

It is recommended that regular basic skills classes are also taken to improve overall skating ability as these are not skating lessons, but rather hockey skill building classes.

If your child has never skated or is a beginning level skater, please enroll him/her in basic skill classes before attempting to enroll in hockey, as hockey class does not teach skating skills. He/she must have passed at least ‘A’ level before enrolling in hockey classes. If skater is not at the appropriate level, he/she may be dropped from hockey.

• Beginner/Intermediate (7-9 yrs) – Forward stroking, forward crossovers on both feet, snowplow stop (A level).
