While SK1 is fully registered, limited spaces are available for SK2 and SK2/Hockey for more advanced skaters.  We will be staffing a registration desk starting at noon on September 17thfor SK2 and SK2/Hockey registrations only.

We will be working hard with our SK1 participants to advance as many skaters as possible to SK2 and create places in SK1 during the season.

Ted Reeve Arena Skating-Hockey School Incorporated is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1970 to promote, teach and practice the fundamentals of skating and hockey, sportsmanship and fair play for boys and girls in a safe and accessible environment. All Instructors and Directors are volunteers.

If you or an older child you know (age 14+, with experience) are interested in volunteering with us, please come see us in dressing room 7 to fill out a volunteer application form.   We particularly need extra help during the Skate 1 sessions each week.
