Additional Recommendations:

Skaters need to be able to walk in their skates off the ice, if they cannot walk in their skates off the ice, this indicates that the skates may not fit properly or be comfortable. For more information, please view the skater information packages- click HERE

We also highly recommend that skaters have a chance to set foot on ice before starting lessons, even if it is only once and for a short period; it helps with any expectations they will have for lessons (this is not necessary but can be helpful). The City of Kamloops has preschool skate, family skate and public skating times and in winter weather there are outdoor rinks, Westsyde’s outdoor rink is one of the better maintained .
