*** Please note that the PA’s are there to help the coaches. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the CanSkate program, please direct them to the coach/CanSkate Coordinator. Although we try to have the same PAs on during each session, there may be times where there will be different PAs on the ice or they may be filling a different role so we cannot guarantee that your child will have the same PA every session.***

* It is not mandatory for skaters to become Program Assistants. PAs must be a minimum of 12 years old and have been a registered starskater for a minimum of one year. Program Assistant helpers must be a minimum of 10 years of age and be a registered starskater for a minimum of one year.
