Which class fits?
Seals
Baby Seals — Parent & Tot · 2–6

For beginners who aren't ready to go solo — with a parent on the ice (in skates!), kids learn to balance, march and stand up.

P 1
Penguins · 4–6

Little or no experience, comfortable without a parent. A 3:1 ratio and skating aids get kids marching and standing on their own.

P 2
Polar Bears · 4–6

For kids who can march the width of the ice unassisted — moving into pushing, gliding, backwards marching and stopping.

P 3
Huskies · 5–7

The bridge out of preschool skating — consolidating push-and-glide skills before the Learn to Skate stream.

Intro
Intro to Learn to Skate · 8–12

A 30-minute, 3:1 entry point for older kids starting fresh — build the basics fast in a small group.

LTS 1
Learn to Skate 1 · 7–12

Beginners: skate forward with good balance and a push-and-glide motion.

LTS 2
Learn to Skate 2 · 6–12

Comfortable forwards — learn to stop, skate backwards and glide on one foot.

LTS 3/4
Learn to Skate 3 & 4 · 6–12

Backwards and stops are solid — crossovers, turns, then hockey stops and jumps.

Ford Performance Centre — 400 Kipling Ave

Fall term starts Sunday Sept 27, Monday Sept 28 and Thursday Oct 1 — 12 weeks on Mon/Thurs, 11 on Sundays (no classes Sunday Oct 18). Players are streamed with participants of equal calibre. Fees are per term, + HST.

The Hockey 101 pathway
Step 1
Kinderhockey · 4–6

Toronto's premier hockey initiation program — agility, balance and coordination, ending each class with a mini game. Skaters must already stride and glide (this is not a learn-to-skate program).

Step 2
Junior Intro to Power Skating & Hockey Skills · 6–8

For young beginner players and Kinderhockey graduates — strong skating fundamentals plus puck handling.

Step 3
Intro to Power & Hockey Skills · 8–11

Skating and puck skills for players building toward house league.

Step 4
Power Skating & Hockey Skills · 9–13

House-league and select players — edgework, skating technique, puck handling and shooting drills. Want more reps? Small Group Hockey Skills runs Thursdays at a 5:1 ratio.

In spring, the 101 Hockey League adds team play — weekly development plus a game, jersey and team awards included. Full CSA-approved equipment is required in all hockey programs, head to toe: helmet & mask, neck guard, shoulder, elbow and shin pads, gloves, pants, jock/jill and stick (cut no higher than the chin with skates on).

Why parents stick with 101

Coaching that outlasts the summer

3:1

Small by design

Swim groups cap at three kids per instructor, and on the ice and the fairway, kids are grouped by age and skill — so nobody gets lost in a crowd, and nobody gets bored.

30+ yrs
