All Skate Canada Member Clubs and skating schools who offer CanSkate programs, must ensure that all CanSkate participants up to and including Stage 5 wear a CSA approved hockey helmet while on the ice.
Clubs and skating schools must ensure this policy is enforced during all skating activities including competitions, Carnival days, or any other special on-ice activities throughout the season for this level of skater.
A skater beyond CanSkate Stage 5 level that chooses to wear a CSA approved hockey helmet during a competition or test will not be subjected to any deductions in relation to the use of a CSA approved hockey helmet.
