Helmets:
Hockey helmets are mandatory for all CanSkaters (No bicycle or ski helmets). –All helmets must be CSA approved – click here
Clothing:
Snowsuits are warm, but bulky, difficult to move in and very slippery when the skater falls and tries to get up. Coaches recommend wearing layers of warm, comfortable clothing such as tights, long johns, sweat pants, sweaters, jackets, mitts or gloves [no hockey gloves].
Skates:
Well fitting skates that provide firm support are crucial to the success of the CanSkater. Skates must fit the skaters feet properly. Good ankle support is very important. Many second hand skates are economical, but are usually “broken down” and do not have adequate support in the ankle area. You will notice that your child’s ankles will buckle in or out and this could be hazardous to their skating. Leather skates with good, firm support are best. Tie skates firmly around the ankle area and less tight around the foot and toe area. Tie laces in a firm bow, leaving two to three inches of tails. Laces must not drag on the ice. Blades need to be in good shape, with no nicks or rust. Blades should be sharpened by a professional sharpener. Always remember to dry your blades with a clean cloth after skating, every time you skate.
Guards:
There are two types of guards for blades, each for a very different purpose:
1. Hard plastic or rubber guards that you put on blades (before you tie up your skates) to protect blades when walking on floors before you go on the ice.
2. Soft, fabric guards that you put on your blades (after drying your blades when you come off the ice) to protect the blades when not skating and while being stored in your bag.
