Skill testing has started and will continue until the end of the season!
Skill Testing information sheets have or are being handed out to the skaters Roadrunners and up. Please make sure that you get your copy and read it over and become familiar with your skills. Every level has at least 1 very difficult skill that will take practice.
KLB has open ice time from 5:00-6:00 pm on Thursdays. Coach Karen is willing to be on the ice for skaters that wish to come and use this time to practice their skills for testing. It is available for Roadrunners, Coyotes, Rattlesnakes etc, but no Cheetahs. The ice time will have little structure, the skaters will mainly work on their own with assistance from Karen. All skaters should have received their sheet of the skills they are going to be tested, so bring that along and use it to practice the skills that need it the most. Please note that skaters can also be tested at that time if they are ready. However, Karen doesn’t want to be there and no skaters show up, so please let her know if you plan to attend:
kar-mac4@telus.net, or you can talk to her at the arena.
