Skate Canada feeder Program:

Pre-Power / Learn to Skate



Skaters must wear full gear (including, but not limited to neck guard and CSA approved helmet) for Pre-Power and for Power Skating. 

CanPowerSkate's Pre-Power is designed for young hockey or ringette skaters,  who can stand up on skates and move forward (shuffle, walk or glide) who may not be ready for CanPowerSkate. Pre-Power helps develop basic skating abilities in a power skating-specific environment, including balance skills, forward and backward skating, stopping, turning and agility skills. The curriculum is presented in three progressive levels complete with its own awards to encourage participation and motivate skaters (note-not all clubs give out awards for this program). 

Pre-Power session levels may vary season to season.

Skate Canada's Learn to Skate program is Can Skate.  Terrace Skating Club sometimes offers a short Learn to Skate program in September prior to the Can Skate sessions starting.  

Skates may wear hockey skates or figure skates to the Learn to skate or Can Skate sessions.

Skaters will learn to move forward on the ice, glide, stop, fall down and those who are slightly more advanced will learn medium forward skating speed and backward skating.
