What should my child wear to skating lessons? - CSA approved hockey or ski helmets and mittens are mandatory for all Advance CanSkaters.
While we do our best to accommodate skaters into the session of their choice, the EGSC Executive reserve the right to adjust programs or move skaters based on skill level and the number of skaters enrolled in each program as necessary.
