They are current STAR Skaters, former skaters and hockey players that have been trained by our coaches. 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 on the session, and providing encouragement and general feedback to skaters.
