Private Ice is available for those skaters who would like take private lessons with a Border Blades member coach, or to practice individually.  Skaters must be a Home Club (includes Introductory) or Associate Member to purchase ice. 

Only Border Blades approved coaches may coach during private ice time. 

Border Blades does not arrange private lessons. Skaters who would like to take lessons, during private ice time, need to reach out to coaches to schedule lessons.

***Beginning on October 2nd, our Thursday evening ice will be split into two groups. Skaters born after 7/1/2014 will be in group 1 and skate the first hour, skaters born on or before 7/1/2014 will be in group 2 and skate the second hour. Additionally, skaters who have PASSED their bronze skating skills test will be placed in group 2. This ice time is very busy so the decision to split the ice is for the safety of our skaters. Please reach out to Mandy if you have any questions about this.
