Pre-season skates

All of the events below are at no cost to our VMH families. You do not have to sign up and/or commit to any sessions; we hope you enjoy the month of September back on the ice and getting ready for the season. The ice sessions will be a combination of power skating and skills and is a great way to get ready for the season.​​​​​​​
