Learn to Skate Registration Open

Do you know a child who'd like to learn to skate? We're hosting a four session Learn to Skate program beginning August 15th at the STMA Ice Arena for boys and girls ages 4 and up.

Learn to Skate is basic beginner level ice skills, no prior experience needed. Kids will be divided into small groups depending on age and skill level. Skates and hockey or bike helmets are required (No hockey sticks or equipment). Instructors will be STMAYHA Mite Coaches and Knights & RiverHawks Hockey Players.
