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.
Special Considerations
Skaters who attend all 4 sessions of the current month will be offered priority registration for the following month.
When
These are 4-week sessions that run from September 2024 through March 2025. Registration for each 4-week session occurs one week prior to the beginning of each month.
All sessions are held from 6:15-7:15 a.m. Skaters can be on the ice as early as 6 a.m. to start warming up.
Where
Monday, Tuesday, and Friday morning sessions are at Chiller North.
There are two Thursday morning sessions and are held at either Chiller North or Chiller Easton.
Cost
Each 4-week session is $180 ($45 per week). However, if you cannot attend all 4 weeks, the individual session (drop-in) rate is $52.50 per session.
** Please note that you will be required to pay the full amount ($180) during registration. During registration you will also be able to indicate which sessions you cannot attend, and LHSS will refund you for those sessions within 48-72 hours for credit card payments and 5-7 days for electronic checking account payments.
Refund Policy
No refunds for any registrations. In the case of illness or injury, please give email notification of the absence PRIOR to the start of the session and we will assess on an individual basis.
Inclement Weather
We follow the weather closings & delays of the Chiller Ice Rinks. Please refer to their website/social media to see if there are any new alerts, and please plan accordingly for difficult road conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my skater cannot attend all 4 sessions?
If your skater can attend 2 or more of the 4 sessions, you should still sign up under this page and pay the full amount. During registration, you will be asked to indicate if there are any of the 4 sessions that you will not be able to attend. LHSS will refund you the money for the sessions you will be missing.
If cannot attend at least 2 sessions, please sign up through the Drop-In Morning Skates program as individual sessions become available.
Please note that the fee for the full 4 weeks and the fee for individual sessions (3 or less) is different (see above).
I indicated that my skater could not make a certain date in the 4-week session. Why is it still showing up on my calendar?
As each skater registers for morning skates, we look to see if there were any dates that were marked down that they would be absent. If so, we mark this down on our records, refund the skater's account for the session, and open a spot on that date for a drop-in. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability through Crossbar to delete a specific date from the calendar for a specific skater since the registration was for a full 4-week "season" (therefore, it will still appear on your calendar).
**Please note, if you paid with an electronic check (rather than credit card), we will not be able to refund your account until your bank has released your payment. This usually takes 5-7 days.
How early can my skater get on the ice?
Skaters are allowed on the ice at 6 a.m. We recommend getting on the ice between 6 and 6:10 a.m. to start warming up.
What if my skater needs to leave early for school reasons?
Sessions are over at 7:15 a.m. However, if your skater needs to leave early, we understand.
What if my skater wakes up ill and cannot make the session?
We understand that illnesses happen. Please refer to our Refund Policy listed above.
