Equipment:

Please dress your skater in warm, comfortable clothing. Mittens, knit hats and/or helmets are highly recommended for all skaters. Helmets are mandatory for Snow Plow Sam skaters and all Learn to Play Hockey participants.

Skates need to fit snugly and blades should be free of rust and large nicks. Properly fitting skates are essential to success. Quality rental skates are available for a nominal fee. Skates can be sharpened in the Pro Shop. Instructors will be happy to give equipment advice.
