Week in Skating Photos: What to Bring to CanSkate

Every season we are excited to meet new skaters. We encourage our skaters to bring warm clothes, helmets, ice skates and big smiles.

Big smiles from our CanSkaters? #skatingisfun #canskate #canskateprogram #skating #smile

And make sure you try on your skates at home before coming on the ice.

If you feel like giving up, remember what made you start #Mondaymotivation

Remember the days you prayed for the things you have now ?

Don’t forget to buy your Skate Canada International tickets. Tickets are selling fast!

Definitely thought I had missed my chance to see @tessavirtue17 and @scottmoir14 compete live, but I guess they had other plans! ⛸? Skate Canada International, here I come!
