Just a reminder to all parents that help is required to put the mats on the ice for the first session.  Please get to the rink in time to get your skater dressed before the zamboni finishes.  When the zamboni clears, we will start moving mats!

Help is also required to move the mats back to storage after the second session.  Please do this before helping your skater get packed up.

Thanks,

The coaching team.
