The Peterborough Pete's will be at the Manvers arena from 5pm-7pm (details are below). The Manvers Skating Club will have the ice from 7pm-8pm.  We are able to offer the regular CanSkate lesson during this time if there are Monday night skaters interested in coming for the revised time.  If you are planning on coming from 7pm-8pm, please advise so that we can plan the lesson accordingly.

Thursday night skating resumes on Thursday January 9th at 5:30pm.
Regular Monday night skating resumes on Monday January 13th.  CanSkate skaters begin at 5pm and the Learn to Skate skaters (that have registered for the 2nd session) begin at 5:10pm.

We look forward to returning to the ice next week!!  Please watch our club bulletin board for upcoming news....

Peterborough Pete's are coming to the Manvers Arena on Monday January 6th!!!!

They will have an open viewing practice from 5pm-6pm and then the public is welcome to join them for an open skate from 6pm-7pm.  The cost to participate is only $5, so if you can, please join in this great community experience!!  The following Saturday (January 11th) you can see some hockey teams from Manvers play during the intermission at the Pete's game and before the game.  The tickets are being sold at a discounted rate ($16) and it is a fundraising event.  Tickets can be purchased on line or at the box office.  Please be sure to use the promotional code: Manvers.  If you have any questions, please let us know.

Peterborough Pete's are coming to Manvers Arena!!!!!

The Manvers Skating Club has been asked by Manvers Hockey if we would be interested in joining efforts for a great community fundraising event. 

Our clubs will be hosting a night of fun with the players of the Peterborough Pete's!!!  The Pete's will be coming to Manvers for a 1 hour open viewing practice and then the ice will be open for skating and an autograph session.  In addition, the following Saturday we will have discounted tickets to attend the Pete's game, where you will see the players of Manvers hockey compete during the intermission and before the game!!!  This is a really exciting event for all skaters and an opportunity for us to work jointly with the Manvers Minor Hockey club.

This event will take place on Monday January 6th, 2014. 

The practice is from 5pm-6pm and the public skate is from 6pm-7pm.

There will be additional details coming later this week so you can be sure not to miss this exciting event!!!

Attention Monday Night Skaters - CanSkate 2 and above:

 

The Manvers Skating Club would normally have skating on this night from 5pm-8pm.  In order to support this exciting event we have agreed that our ice time from 5pm-7pm can be used for this fundraiser.  Given our fundraising goal for this year, the Board felt that this was a good opportunity to raise funding for the club, and more importantly it is a great event for the community.

On this night, Manvers Skating Club will have the ice from 7pm-8pm.  During this time slot, for this night only, we will be offering the CanSkate program and senior skaters will also be able to skate during this time.  In order to plan the program for this evening we will be asking parents to confirm their child's attendance for this night.  Hopefully this advanced notice allows you enough time to make arrangements to skate at this revised time.  We hope that you agree that this is a good opportunity for our club and an exciting event for the community.

Please note that the Learn to Skate program will begin as scheduled on Monday January 13th, as such this time change does not impact them.

Should you have any concerns, please feel free to speak with any of our board members.

Stay tuned for more details on the event and how you can participate!!!!

Regards,
Manvers Skating Club Board Members
