Prep Skates offer players the opportunity to hit the ice and have some fun in a no-pressure warmup session prior to the Rep and MD Evaluations. Participation is
OPTIONAL and there are
NO EVALUATIONS conducted during these sessions.
As per OMHA regulations, only players registered with KMHA for the 2025/26 season are eligible to attend Prep Skates.
You do not have to register for prep skates, but you must have been registered in KMHA during the 2025-2026 Season to attend.
Each Prep Skate will be run by KMHA volunteers that are not involved with that specific age group.
Here is a chart for which prep skate your child should be attending.
