Program Assistants
Program Assistants (PA) are essential to our Skate Canada Brighton program. PAs assist our Skate Canada coaches in delivering our CanSkate and Pre-CanSkate programs. They are current STAR Skaters, former skaters and hockey players that our coaches have trained. A PA's role may include assisting or leading warm-ups, group activities or cool-downs, assisting with the set-up of circuits and stations, leading circuits, demonstrating proper execution of skating skills, providing general assistance to the coaches during the session, and providing encouragement and general feedback to skaters.
