Arrive Early for Fitting
Plan to be at the rink 20–30 minutes before your start time for skate fitting and a safety briefing to maximize ice time.
Bring Skate Socks
Thin, high socks improve fit and prevent blisters—rental skates can be stiff and socks make a big difference.
Use a Mouthguard for Contact
If you expect body contact or hard shots, a mouthguard reduces dental risk; many guides recommend one for full-contact play.
Hydrate and Pace Yourself
Two hours of on-ice activity is intense; drink water before and during breaks to avoid cramps and fatigue.
Skate Socks
Thin, tall socks reduce friction and improve skate fit for rentals.
