Start speed skating today!
This page explains how to register with the Iqaluit Speed Skating Club for short track speed skating. Please read it all so you are prepared before you start registering.
We use IceReg. IceReg registers your child with the Iqaluit Speed Skating Club, the Nunavut Speed Skating Association, and Speed Skating Canada. This is necessary for our insurance and to allow your child to participate in future events and competitions.

Review Info
Click the orange buttons to review our programs, schedule, and safety equipment and rules, then continue to the next section. If you have any questions, please ask before registering!
All our programs require your child already be able to skate a bit. We recommend the Ookpik Skate program for first-time skaters.
Developmental and Advanced eligibility is based on both age and experience. If you’re registering for the first time, please confirm your child’s eligibility before registering.
The lesson times we post on social media are on-ice lesson start times, when skaters are expected to already have their gear on and be on the ice. Parents should plan to arrive half an hour before the lesson times to gear up and help put mats out.
Our registration fees include rental of some safety gear, but not the purchase of gear we can’t re-use. We sell all gear that must be purchased separately.
Parents and skaters may never open the bench doors to come on the ice when others are skating. Wait until everyone is in the face-off circle or until a coach signals that it’s okay.
For First & Fast Strides (younger kids), parents must stay at the rink for the whole lesson to help their child if necessary. Coaches cannot leave the ice.
Coaches on the ice have the final say on all safety matters.
Register
1) Register with IceReg
- Create or sign into a parent/guardian account
When you first create an IceReg account, it is your account, not your child’s. Enter your own information. Parents’ accounts can be used to register multiple children. - Register your child
After your parent/guardian account has been created, you’ll have the option to “register someone else” – this is where you enter your child’s information to register them. If another parent/guardian has previously registered your child, do not proceed! We need to link their IceReg ID to your account. Get in touch with us. - Select the program and payment option
Each program has the choice of a single payment or three payments. - Register as a Club Athlete
When asked to select the Athlete Membership Options, choose Club Athlete. - Sign all waivers
Each organization (Iqaluit, Nunavut, and Speed Skating Canada) sets its own rules for registration, so you may be asked to enter some information more than once and to sign multiple agreements. - Pay the membership fees
2) Join our WhatsApp group
We make announcements for schedule changes, cancellations, and special events on our WhatsApp group. While we also post on Facebook and other social media, this is the platform where we only post announcements. Please join!
After the lessons start, you may also be invited to join a group managed by your child’s program coach. Please join that as well – it’ll be where the coach communicates information specific to your child’s group.
3) Bring your skater to equipment fitting
We’ll announce an equipment fitting and pick-up date on WhatsApp. Bring your child to get fitted for skates and other equipment.
