At the Coach's discretion, the Coach will suggest the skater purchase their own speedskates.​
​
​At this time, a staff member will measure the skater for boots. United Capital Blades partners with xactskateshop.com for equipment. All items are listed in CAD. Payment will be converted to USD at time of purchase. Ask a staff member for the coupon code.
Full Equipment List
3. Soakers
4. Helmet
6. Neck Guard
7. Shin guards (optional)​​
​
Protective Gear
Skaters are required to bring and wear a helmet and gloves on the ice at all times. Bike, inline, hockey (minus faceguard) and speedskate are all acceptable helmet types.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
Equipment
Skaters who have recently purchased skates and other gear will not be asked to additionally purchase a sharpening jig and stones right away. We realize these costs add up quickly and are more than happy to provide sharpening services until you are comfortable and familiar enough to tackle this task on your own.
