La Crete Skating Club
Registration for the 2025-2026 season is quickly approaching. To avoid late fees, our early bird dates for our CanSkate and STARskate season are as noted:
STARskate earlybird: August 4th-August 15th, 2025. Start date for STARskate is TBD. Once we know when the ice will be available, the official start date will be announced on the group chat. Expected to begin in the last week of August.
CanSkate early bird: September 1st, to September 19th, 2025. Start date for CanSkate is October 6th, 2025.
Please read through carefully:
Both our CanSkate and STARskate have 2 sessions throughout the winter. The first half will end mid December. Our first half ends with the "Snowflake Skate," which is a show the skaters put on to showcase what they have learned so far; costumes/skating dresses are usually worn for the show and will be an extra cost for parents. The second session starts January and runs usually until late March. Those dates will be finalized at a later date. Our annual Ice Show Carnival will be in March which will showcase what our skaters have learned for the season, there will be an added costume fee for the event. You may wish to opt out of the Carnival and the Snowflake skate if desired.
Kitchen Fee:
Our club has the opportunity to be a part of the arena kitchen. This is the biggest fundraiser for our club and being a part of the kitchen has allowed us to keep our program fees lower. Without the kitchen fundraiser our fees would have to go up substantially. If you would like to receive a full refund for the kitchen fees, you may work 10 hours/skater with a max of 40 hours for the season in the kitchen. This year the kitchen has added a "kitchen incentive fee," as they have had a hard time getting volunteers to help in the kitchen. This incentive fee will be an extra $100 on top of the $150 fee that we've had in the previous years. You may choose to pay the fees, however if you wish to work in the kitchen to receive the $250 back, you must work a total of 10 hours in the kitchen per registration. If you work less than 10 hours you will forfeit the $100 kitchen incentive fee and will only receive $15/hour worked in the kitchen. There is a max of $1000 (40 hours worked) per family for kitchen fees for the year. If you have reached the max amount, your kitchen fee will automatically be discounted. (The max amount is combined with hockey kitchen fees- if you have reached the max due to hockey, please contact the registar for an adjustment on your invoice). If you want to work your hours in the kitchen, please see the kitchen schedule posted in the lobby or speak to one of the kitchen managers.
Refund Policy: You may request a refund for skating. You have the first 4 skating sessions to request a refund. We understand life happens and your child may change their mind about skating, however this must be done within the first 4 sessions or no refund will be allowed. To request the refund contact Michelle 780-285-1350. All refunds are subject to an administration fee, Skate Canada fees cannot be refunded, those fees will be deducted from your total refund. Refunds due to injuries will be considered case by case and voted on by the board.
CSA approved helmets are required for CanSkate skaters. Warm gloves are also required for your skater to be allowed onto the ice. Snow pants for young skaters are recommended. Warm sweaters/coats to ensure your skater is warm and comfortable on the ice would give your child the best experience.
