About First & Fast Strides

This is our Learn to Skate Program. First & Fast Stride lessons are designed to jump-start the beginner skater, ages 4 years and older.  

Skaters wear their own hockey or figure skates and are segregated on the ice into smaller groups according to their skill level.  This is to ensure there is a good ratio of coaches and helpers to skaters.

We provide a Fall and Winter program, each consisting of 10 sessions which are held at the Kinsmen Arena from 6:00-6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. The cost of the program for the 2026-2027 season is $115 per skater plus a $50 fundraising fee.
