Attention all Skaters up to and including Stage 5

POLICY: HELMET USE
REFERENCE:
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2011
1.0 GENERAL

All Skate Canada member clubs and skating schools who offer a CanSkate program must
ensure all CanSkate and Adult CanSkate participants up to and including Stage 5 must
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.
Clubs and skating schools may choose to expand the use of CSA approved hockey
helmets in their club as they see necessary. In general, anyone who lacks good
control/balance when skating forward, backward and has difficulty stopping, as well as
maneuvering around obstacles on the ice must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet.
This policy is a minimum standard. Sections, at their discretion, may impose a higher
standard which all clubs and skating schools within the sections’ boundaries must adopt
and implement.
2.0 HELMET USE DURING A COMPETITION OR TEST DAY
A skater beyond a CanSkate Stage 5 level that chooses to wear a CSA approved hockey
helmet during a competition or test day will not be subjected to any deductions in
relation to the use of a CSA approved hockey helmet.
