CanSkate
CanSkate is a learn-to-skate program for everyone, from first times skaters to more advanced skaters who wish to improve their skating technique. Our programs emphasize fun and continuous movement along with quality skill learning.
This program benefits all types of skaters (recreational, figure skating, hockey, and ringette) by teaching and improving both basic and advanced skating techniques.
CFSC CanSkate classes are taught by certified professional instructors along with trained program assistants in small groups. Skaters will be grouped according to age and skill level (6-10 skaters per group). We recommend the 2 day a week program for optimal improvement.
Program Structure
The CanSkate program focuses on the development of six fundamental movements organized in six stages of learning. The skills are arranged in progressions, from very simple to the more complex. Each stage has a primary focus. Once the skills on each stage are mastered, a badge is awarded. The series of badges include Stage badges, Fundamental Movement badges and Fitness badges.

Appropriate Dress & Equipment
For CanSkate we recommended that you purchase a leather lace up skate rather than molded skates. Please do not purchase the style of skate that has one or two straps instead of laces as they make it difficult to stand straight. All CanSkaters are required to wear helmets. Layered clothing is recommended as bulky snowsuits can hinder movement.
