Fall 2025/Winter 2026 Registration & Pricing Overview for Families
Hamilton Skating Club is a non-profit organization that offers high-quality skating programs for skaters of all levels. As our membership and club needs grow and evolve, this skating season we’re growing our commitment to flexibility, transparency, and value by re-assessing our financial model, operational practices, and efficiency for 2025.
This is reflected in our new fee model that breaks out the costs of club-coached vs private-coached sessions, with pricing that reflects updated costs of running each program.
New this year, we are providing added value to families who skate more with our new initiative, Team Thursdays. We are also continuing to offer volume discounting for families with multiple skaters.
