Thornton Skating Club

All of our coaches are Skate Canada certified through the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). Our coaches are hired by the club to provide group instruction. The club allows the coaches to teach on the club's ice-time to provide skaters with privately arranged lessons. All coaches are self-employed and therefore must be approached directly for lesson inquiries.
