Learn To Skate
DCASE presents free skating lessons (reservations required) for skaters of any age at three levels: beginner, intermediate, and hockey skills. Lessons take place from 9-10 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays (weather permitting) from November 16, 2024 to February 2, 2025.
Please note that the hockey skills level is not a Learn-to-Skate class; it is intended for participants who already know how to skate in hockey skates and want to develop basic hockey skills. If you signed up for the hockey skills level and cannot skate, you will not be allowed to participate in the class or be allowed to switch to any of the other classes if they are at capacity.
Helmets are strongly encouraged for beginner skaters.
Parents/guardians must register for a lesson in order to accompany children on the ice rink.
Skate rental is free for the lessons.
For any questions or issues regarding rink reservations please contact Rink Management at GM.Millennium@RinkManagement.com.
