Morning Skates
Skills development program throughout the season that focuses on body alignment, edges, power, speed, agility, and transitions. These 4-week sessions will also involve stick & puck drills. This is a great skills development supplement to skaters' regular team practices.
Age & Skill Level
Monday, Thursday (at Chiller Easton), and Friday sessions are typically geared at 9-15 year olds in the A/AA/AAA programs.
Tuesday sessions are geared at AAA and Varsity skaters between 12-18 years old.
**This session is invite only.
Thursday sessions (at Chiller North) are specially designed for our youngest and/or newest members to the LHSS (usually between 6-11 years old).
Registration & Waitlist
Registration for each month's skates will open 1 week before the first session.
Registration is on a first come/first serve basis. If your age/skill group session is full, please join our waitlist and we will notify you if a spot becomes available.
If you cannot attend at least 2 of the 4 sessions, please register instead through the Drop-In Morning Skates program. See FAQs below.
