The Aldergrove Skating Club skates at the Aldergrove Community Centre in the Fall/Winter and other local rinks in the Spring/Summer.

We have programming 4 days a week (M, T, Th and Fri) with Saturdays as ice time allows. We are a Skate Canada affiliated club and offer CanSkate, Junior Academy and Star Development programming both on and off the ice. Synchro is a particular passion of our club and we currently have 5 synchronized skating teams from Star 4 to Adult 3. Experience and enthusiasm for synchronized skating would be a particular asset.
