Our pre-school programs have been designed to introduce children to ice skating as well as develop their skills so they can advance into hockey development, ringette development & figure skating!

Children will advance through levels based on experience and successful completion.

Our Standard Youth Learn to Skate (LTS) Programs focus on the fundamentals of skating and prepare each individual skater with the necessary skills to advance into any ice sport. Within the Academy there are six levels to choose from depending on skill level. The recommended ages for our Standard Youth Learn to Skate is 6-13.

Standard Youth Learn to Skate is available at most of our Canadian Canlan Ice Sports facilities. One of the reasons why participants choose the Canlan Ice Sports Skating Academy is our continued focus on skating development for hockey & ringette as well as introducing the basics of Figure Skating.

Adults of any age and skill level are welcome into our Adult Learn to Skate Programs. It's never too late to learn to skate!

Most participants in the Adult Learn to Skate graduate within two sessions. If the Adult Learn to Skate program is not offered at your selected facility, don't be afraid to register for any beginner hockey program. Our beginner hockey programs also teach basic skating techniques.
