COVID-19 UPDATES APRIL 4th !!!
Once again we have had to halt our programs.
During this time off ice time used will be compared to the hours purchased. As stated if any skater has not purchased enough hours they will receive an admin fee of $50 to their account.
Any unused hours will not expire and can be used when we reopen.
Please check back here for additional information as it becomes available.
******************
The cost for ticket booklets has increased. In order to cover the ice costs the purchase of your second and additional packages of 10 ice sessions will now be $250.
*****************
For now the ONLY programs running are private sessions with your private coach. Your coach will be contacting you for scheduling of ice times.
****************
In order to skate you must purchase ten packs of ice time in the registration section. Once you have used ten sessions another purchase must be made. We will be tracking sign in sheets with purchases. If it is found you are skating and not paying for sessions an admin fee of $50 will be charged to your account. If we are able to return to regular programming any unused ice time will be applied as a credit towards programming. There will be no physical booklet of tickets, it is your responsibility to purchase additional packages as needed.
Please check website regularly for updates and watch for emails for further information.
We will not resume regular programming until our restrictions are manageable for a regular program.
Watch here for updates!
