We are thrilled that you are interested in the Duluth Amateur Hockey Association's Learn to Skate program.
This program is free* for everyone!

When
The 2023 Duluth Learn to Skate Program will be held on eight consecutive Sunday afternoons, from 12:00 to 2 :15 p.m.  beginning on September 24.

Each Learn to Skate date is broken into three, 45-minute time options. Each time frame will host all three skill levels. Please choose the time (A, B or C) that works best for your family and then designate your child's level (Beginner, Level 1 or Level 2) based upon previous skating ability/ skill level.

Time A : 12:30-1:15 p.m.
Time B : 1:15-2 p.m.
Time C :  2-2:45 p.m.

Who
Ages 4-10 (as of September23, 2023)  who are new to skating and have never played organized hockey. 

Levels
Beginner Level
Introduction to skating. This level is designed for children who have little to no experience on skates or need assistance skating. 
Learner Level 1
Some experience skating. This level is if your child has had some experience skating before and can generally stand and move on their own.
Learner Level 2
Basic skill practicing. This level is designated for children who are looking to practice basic skating skills.

Equipment
We highly recommend that you bring your own skates and helmet. Bike helmets and hockey helmets are acceptable. Mittens & gloves are also highly encouraged. Skates will be available to borrow from the Heritage Arena if needed. 

Cost
The Learn to Skate Program is free -- however, because space is limited, please bring a $50 check for your refundable reservation fee made out to DAHA to your first session.  If you attend 6 of the 8 sessions, you will get your $50 check returned after the final weekend of the program.
