The Parent-Tot class is a level unique to all seasons. This class allows parents to experience their young child's first steps on the ice right alongside them. In this class, skaters will learn the very basics of ice skating.
Children will be taught basic skating maneuvers such as falling down, getting backup, as well as the initial steps towards skating.
The class will incorporate various games and other activities suited for children of a young age that their parents/guardians can also participate in.
Parents should have some skating experience. Parent tot classes are available for children between the ages of 3 & 4 yrs old.

This game is played without skates. Pilo polo is played with rules very much like ice hockey. Each team has six players including a goalie. The goalie is the only player allowed to touch the ball with his hands or feet, and goalies are allowed to throw or roll the ball down the field. Everyone else must only use their sticks to move the ball. Equipment is provided.
This class is intended for first-time hockey players. Please note, this is NOT a Learn to Skate program. Kids who do not have skating experience should take skating lessons prior to their first Intro to Hockey session. Equipment provided.
Broomball is a game played on a hockey rink with two teams - equal number of players on each team. The activity is similar to hockey and soccer. The object of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team. A player uses a stick (a shaft with a molded broom-shaped head) to maneuver a six-inch diameter ball up and down the ice. Instead of skates, players wear shoes. Broomball is a really fun activity! Equipment is provided.
