SkateCanada's Helmet Regulation
Effective 2001-05-01, all Skate Canada member clubs and skating schools who offer a CanSkate program must ensure all CanSkate and Adult CanSkate participants up to and including Stage 5 must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet while on the ice.
Clubs and skating schools must ensure this policy is enforced during all skating activities including competitions, carnival days or any other special on ice activities throughout the season for this level of skater.
Clubs and skating schools may choose to expand the use of CSA approved hockey helmets in their club as they see necessary. In general, anyone who lacks good control/balance when skating forward, backward and has difficulty stopping, as well as maneuvering around obstacles on the ice must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet.
Helmet Use During A Competition Or Test Day
A skater beyond a CanSkate Stage 5 level that chooses to wear a CSA approved hockey helmet during a competition or test day will not be subjected to any deductions in relation to the use of a CSA approved hockey helmet.

Summer Fund-Raising Project:
Bottle/Can Drive
Over the summer, please collect and save your cooler bottles and pop cans, and any beer bottles, beer cans, and wine bottles you can find, for donation to the Pembroke Skating Club on Saturday September 10th at the Pem Ice 2 arena between 9am and 12pm.
Contact the Club if you need help delivering them to the rink.
FUND-RAISING
Fundraising is a crucial part of running a successful club. It helps to offset the costs that registration does not cover and keep fees reasonably low. Some of the fund-raising we do are selling chocolate bars, selling Nevada tickets, hosting and sharing proceeds from the Canteen. Fundraising is a great way to work as a team and benefit our skaters at the same time.
