Hockey Program Equipment Requirement:
Hockey players participating in SK8 Georgian Bay hockey programs must wear full hockey equipment, including a properly fitted hockey stick, while on the ice. -
Skate Care & Maintenance Reminders:
• Remember to air out skate boots after each use to help prevent moisture buildup and odour.
• Always wear protective skate guards when walking off the ice to protect blades and reduce the risk of slipping.
• After skating, dry the blades and sole plate completely with a clean cloth to prevent rust.
• Do not leave hard guards on skates after use, as they can trap moisture and cause blade damage.
• Before removing skates, unlace them fully to prevent the back of the boot from breaking down, creasing, or ripping over time. -
On-Ice Safety Reminders:
• Skaters should get up quickly after a fall and move to a safe area when needed.
• When skating backwards, always look in the direction of travel.
• No food, gum, or candy is permitted on the ice.If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact
