StarSkate Program

STARSkate offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of ice dance, skating skills, free skate and artistic skating. Unique in Canada, this program teaches figure skating skills in a group and/or private lesson format progressively and sequentially and includes specifically designed awards and incentives. 

STARskate skills are a combination of fundamental skating movements, executed on a pattern and skated solo. The basic components of all disciplines of figure skating are incorporated into the program. The movements are derived from former compulsory figures, free skating and ice dancing. The objective of the Skating Skills program is mastery of the basic fundamentals of skating – edge quality, control, power and speed.

There are 11 Skating Skills Assessments in the STARSkate program STAR 1-5 and STAR 6-GOLD. Skating skills will be assessed on accuracy, carriage/clarity, edge quality and power.

Power Program

Take your skating to the next level with our Power Program, a Skate Canada initiative designed to develop the foundational and advanced hockey skating skills that every player needs to succeed on the ice. With a focus on proper technique, edge work, and explosive movement, the Power Program gives skaters the tools they need to become stronger, faster, and more confident players.

The Power Program is open to skaters aged 5 and up who have completed CanSkate Stage 4, ensuring every participant has the core skating foundation needed to thrive in the program. From there, skaters embark on an exciting journey through four progressive levels, each one building on the skills and confidence developed in the last.

Intro to Power welcomes skaters to the world of hockey-specific skating, introducing key techniques and movement patterns in a supportive and engaging environment. From there, skaters advance through Power Bronze, Power Silver, and Power Gold, with each level bringing new challenges, greater complexity, and a deeper mastery of the skills that define great hockey players on the ice.

Much like other Skate Canada skill development programs, the Power Program follows a structured, achievement-based format that keeps skaters motivated and progressing at every stage. Badges and level completions give skaters a sense of accomplishment and a clear path forward, making every session something to look forward to.

Whether your child is just beginning their hockey skating journey or is ready to push their skills to a competitive level, the Power Program offers the progressive, expert-guided development they need to reach their full potential on the ice.

Synchronized Skating Teams

Experience the thrill of skating as one. Synchronized skating is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing disciplines in figure skating, combining the grace and precision of skating with the power and energy of team sport. Our competitive synchronized skating program offers teams at every level, allowing skaters of all ages to be part of something truly spectacular.

Our program fields teams across a full range of competitive divisions, Preliminary, Juvenile, Novice, Junior, Senior, and Adult 1, 2, and 3, ensuring that skaters at every stage of their journey have a team to call home. Whether you are stepping into synchro for the first time or have years of competitive experience, there is a place for you on the ice with us.

Synchronized skating is more than just a sport — it is a team experience unlike any other. Skaters develop not only their individual skating skills, including edges, footwork, speed, and timing, but also the teamwork, communication, and discipline that come from moving in perfect unison with up to 20 teammates. The bonds formed on a synchro team are ones that last a lifetime.

Our teams compete under Skate Canada and Skate Ontario sanctioned events, giving skaters the opportunity to represent their club at regional, provincial, and national levels of competition. With dedicated coaching and a commitment to excellence at every level, our program prepares skaters to perform with confidence, precision, and pride on every ice surface they step onto.

From your very first synchronized element to the moment you skate onto the ice at a major competition, our synchronized skating program is dedicated to helping every skater and every team reach their full potential — together.
