Welcome to the Markham Skating Club
Welcome to the Markham Skating Club. Since 1964, the Markham Skating Club has been committed to the development of skaters of all ages in our community. We have learn-to-skate programs for children, teens, and adults. We have programs for more advanced skaters up to Gold Level testing. We also offer the SkateCanada "PowerSkate" program for those wishing to refine their skating skills for hockey, ringette, or figure skating.
Our Mission: From building a solid foundation in skating skills to helping individuals reach their goals and dreams, our ultimate mission is to inspire a life long love for the sport of skating.

Our Annual Holiday Family Skating party is on Saturday, December 13. The party runs from 12:00 - 2:00 PM at the Markham Village Arena (no Nov/Jr or Sr/Adv sessions).
We have a fun filled afternoon planned for everyone, including our famous Toonie Jars and Santa, who will be joining us on the ice!
Event details:
-
When: Saturday, December 13, 2025
-
Time: 12:00 pm - 2:00 PM
-
Where: Markham Village Arena
-
What to bring: your family, your skates, a toonie jar and some spending cash (we will have some of our new MSC merchandise available for purchase - great holiday gift options!)
Toonie Jars:
These have become a very fun tradition over the years. We are asking each family to create 1-2 simply decorated jars filled with anything (candies, pencils, stickers, craft items, hot chocolate…). These jars are then sold for a toonie during our party and kids just love them! (some pics attached for inspiration). Please just drop them off at the skating office when you arrive. We do run out early, so the more you create, the more we have.
Any questions, please contact the office at info@markhamskatingclub.com.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
2025-26 FALL/WINTER REGISTRATION
Registration is HERE
|
Please refer to the program pages to see the equipment and safety requirements for each program. PreCanskate and Canskate. |
This is a friendly reminder for all skaters registered in the Novice level.
Although additional private coaching is only mandatory for Junior level and above, it is recommended to start at the Novice level. To begin testing the disciplines, progress and improve overall skills through individualized training, a skater will need private lessons from a coach. The number of private lessons per week will depend on each skater’s goals. The more lessons a skater has, the faster they will progress.
A list of our professional coaching staff can be found on our website here, where you can find bios and contact information. To book private lessons, please contact the coach of your choice directly for more information.
If you already have a coach, please email the office with your coach's name so we can update our system.
If you have any questions, please contact the office at info@markhamskatingclub.com.
Thank you,
MSC Board and Staff
PROGRAM ASSISTANT INFORMATION
Our coaches, and our newest little skaters, rely on Program Assistants (PAs) to help our professional coaches during the Pre-CanSkate and CanSkate sessions.
Program Assistants receive FREE training, plus a discount on their session fees, AND the hours count toward high school volunteer hours!
Skaters are eligible to be a PA if they are registered for the Fall / Winter Junior session (or above) AND are between 10 and 19 years old.
If you would like to be a Program Assistant, this year's training session is mandatory at the Markham Village on Saturday, September 20th, (this date is tentative and updates will be provided). Refreshments will be served.
Your help is so important to our littlest skaters; please contact the MSC office at info@markhamskatingclub.com if you have questions or if you can join our PA program.
