Great question, and no worries! 

What about gear?

Great question, and no worries! Kent Valley Ice Centre offers an equipment rental package for students in our Learn-to-Play-Hockey Program. The rental cost is $80.00 for a series (plus a $200.00 security deposit refundable upon return of the equipment).

Your rental gear package includes a helmet, skates, pants, shin pads, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, and a hockey bag to carry it all. You will need to purchase a couple of items, including a mouth guard, protective cup, hockey socks, and your own stick. All of these items are available in our Pro Shop. If you already have rental equipment from our last session, you can extend your rental for $80.00, and no additional deposit is required.
