GOOD TRAFFIC BEHAVIOR

• Look both directions before leaving the boards or entering the ice surface.

• First Right of Way always goes to the skater performing their solo. If a skater wishes, they may wear the Club Vest to identify they are performing their solo.
• Skaters in a lesson have the second right of way. Other skaters must allow the coach and skater room to work and must not disrupt a lesson.
• Skaters are expected to be on time for all on and off ice sessions and to train throughout the entire session. Skaters are expected to make good use of the ice time provided to them and to not be a distraction to other skaters.
• DO NOT stand or stop anywhere in the jump area. Move in and out of jump areas quickly. Exit jump areas closely along the boards. Do Not spin in the jump areas unless doing your program.
• If stopping to stand, please do so only along the boards between the blue lines.
