Lace Up Your Skates
Ice Skating
As the weather starts to get colder in the fall and winter in western New York, the outside activities become limited. Don’t worry though, we have you covered! Public skating at Northwest Arena is the perfect activity to keep you busy, and all ages are welcome. Bring the family, friends, or a date and lace up those skates!
For those first-timers or still in the learning process, we have skate trainers that assist with your balance. This allows you to focus on making the correct movements with your skates. Once you have that down, the trainer will be a thing of the past. You’ll be having so much fun you won’t want to get off the ice! Adults can rent a trainer bar for the kids, and grandchildren, who are learning to skate and may even choose to hold on themselves.
Check the schedule to see when the next public skate session is taking place.
Learn to skate with the Jamestown Skating Club which offers 7-week program rotations with lessons in figure skating and skating for hockey for all ages and abilities. Each session offers a 30-minute practice and 20-minute group lesson. Skate rentals are included at no extra charge.
Those who sign up will be in the hands of excellence. Jaylyn Worgan, program director, has an array of achievements under her belt. A few of her notable accomplishments are: four-time gold medalist, competitor at National Showcase, and a participant in Disney on Ice from 2012-2016.
Lenel van den Berg and Kirk Wyse are two industry-renowned skating coaches also on the Learn to Skate panel. The two had incredible careers on their own, and their mentorship is just as impressive.
