We welcome all special needs athletes, from age 3 and up.

​To compete in the Special Olympics competitions, minimum age restrictions may apply.

The Monarchs are a non-profit collaborative initiative to enable special needs ice skating and hockey.

The Monarchs offer two on-ice programs:

• Learn to Skate
  • Learn basic skating skills as part of a group session
  • Skating assist devices can be made available
  • Skates and helmet are available from the ice rink (while supplies last)
  • On-ice coaches will determine the skater’s readiness to graduate into the hockey program
  • While we strive for one on one training in our Learn to Skate program, we rely on volunteers to help out on the ice
• Learn to Play Hockey 
  • Learn basic hockey skills as part of a group session (we may be able to provide buddies if needed)
  • Skates and helmets are available from the ice rink (while supplies last)
  • Hockey protective gear may be available to loan out depending on sizes available. All hockey players must wear a hockey helmet with full face cage and pads
  • Attend competitive games/tournaments (based on interest and availability)
• Figure Skating (Coming Soon based on interest)
  • We are collecting information on interested participants. If there is enough demand, we will work to deliver this program. If you are interested, please email us at [email protected]
