Helmets:

• CSA approved helmets are MANDATORY.
• A hockey helmet is the ONLY acceptable helmet as they wrap around the back of the head and are designed to withstand repeated bumps.
• Fit should be snug.

Warm Clothing:

• Clothing should provide warmth but not restrict movement.
• Layering of sweat suits, sweaters, ski jackets and long underwear or leotards is recommended. Bulky snowsuits can hinder movement.
• Warm mittens or gloves are a must.

Etiquette:

• Please have your child at the arena on time, dressed and ready to go on the ice at the scheduled session time.
• Please use the assigned dressing room. Signs are posted on the arena dressing room entries.
