We’re on our 5th week of skating and I’m amazed at how well our 6 year old – who has taken lessons for 2 years at another location – has progressed.

Skating as a child and skating as an adult are not the same! Having some basic skating skills I lacked the confidence and ability to actually enjoy skating! Beginner skating lessons at North Toronto Skating club has finally helped me to once more enjoy skating as well being able to do some fancy skating moves. Next, skating the Ottawa Canal in winter!

I am so happy to skate at NTSC! They have the nicest coaches that make learning new skating elements fun. I always come off each ice session with a big smile.

In the 2 years that I have been at North Toronto skating club it has been an amazing ride and I hope to continue working with the amazing coaches and skaters. As a newcomer, I did not feel excluded in anyway and was given a lot of support. I was even able experiment with new things that I have never done so before; Pairs ice dancing!

I started skating when I was 3 years old and it was (and still is!) my favourite thing to do. I didn’t come to NT until later in my skating career, but the coaches were always so kind and welcoming, and I loved being coached by them.

I was 2 years old the first time my parents put me in little skates, and I started skating at NTSC when I was 5. I loved every second! During the past 13 years, skating has taught me to work hard, to always get up when I fall, and to stay positive through everything. I have made friends for life at NT. 

I started skating at the age of 6 years old and have been skating for 12 years now. Skating has always been a big part of my life and always will be. What I liked most about skating at NT was how it always felt like a home to me. It has always been my happy place.

I have been skating at North Toronto since I was 6 years old. I have made lasting memories with many friends, making the club feel like my second home. From late night skating sessions, to coaching, I am so grateful for all of the memories and friendships I have made. I am so thankful to North Toronto for helping me grow from a scared young skater, into an accomplished skater with students of my own.

I started skating at North Toronto when I was 6. Over the years, North Toronto became my second home. I got my first job experience working in the music room; I volunteered as a program assistant and I progressed to being a Canskate coach! I was always welcomed by the friendly arena staff, met many amazing friends, and received constant support from all of my coaches. 

I have loved every moment of my time at NTSC. I would like to thank all of the coaches at NTSC for all of the valuable lessons on and off the ice. and for making my time at NTSC so memorable,

I’ve been skating at North Toronto skating club since I was three years old making it feel like a second home to me. Through my 15 years at North Toronto I’ve made countless memories with my coaches and the life long friends I’ve made.

I was always amazed at the beauty and power I saw in figure skaters, yet I was always too scared to try. I walked into NTSC my last summer before high school with hand-me-down Canadian Tire skates and barely any knowledge. Skating at the club has brought me so much joy, and purpose for my life and I really don’t know where I’d be without it. The support and kindness from the coaches and members makes NTSC my home, and my favourite place to be. Thank you so much to everyone for making my time at North Toronto so memorable and giving me the best experiences of my life.

This year would have been my 12th year of skating. I love skating because it is great exercise and it is a good break from school. I will miss all the people I met at North Toronto and the many experiences I had there.
