Know Before You Go

Welcome to ice programs at WinSport!  We’re excited to have you join us. Below are some details to make the most of your camp or program. Here's what you need to know before you go.

Rental Information:

We recommend bringing your own pair of skates and a CSA approved (ski/hockey) helmet. However, we do offer helmet and skate rentals (size and width can vary).

For women, skate sizing will be 2.5-3 sizes down from your shoe size. For men, skate sizing will be 1.5-2 sizes down from your shoe size.

All sizes may not be available due to skates being donation based
