2 - New to Ice
Welcome to our New to Ice Program, a specially designed introduction to the world of skating for toddlers under the age of 6. Our primary goal is to create a welcoming and enjoyable environment where young skaters can develop a strong skating foundation. We understand that the key to successful learning is a combination of loving the experience and grasping the fundamental skills. Here's an overview of what our program has to offer:
