Equipment Checklist - Pre-School

Make sure you have everything you need to succeed in the Pre-School program!

Helmets

• CSA Approved hockey helmets with a full face shield or cage are mandatory for skaters in the Pre-School classes.
• Helmets must meet safety standards set by the Canadian Standards Association and bear the CSA sticker.
• Helmets should fit snugly and cover the forehead.
• View our Helmet Policy for more information.

 Skates

• Hockey skates are recommended for early beginners as they teach skaters to push to the side to stride instead of relying on their toe pick
• Figure skates are welcome 
• NO bob skates (skates that strap to a boot)
• Take good care of your skates! Visit our Care of Skates page for more tips & tricks.

Clothing

• Warm clothing and waterproof pants are recommended. 
• Snowsuits are allowed but not expected. They can hinder movement so clothes that keep them dry but also allow movement is suggested. Consider light weight waterproof shells wearing layers of clothing underneath.
• We strongly recommend waterproof gloves.
