Heartland Skating Academy offers a wide range of programs for anyone with the desire to skate!  Whether your goal is to become a stronger recreational skater, or you're committed to becoming a figure skater or hockey player, we have the program that's right for you!

Our world-class programs are led by PSA and SafeSport certified coaches who are passionate about sharing their love for the ice with their students.  All classes are designed to take skaters from beginners to the advanced freestyle levels.

HEARTLAND SKATING ACADEMY

Heartland’s hockey programs are designed around the guidelines of USA Hockey’s ADM model, which creates a fun, relaxed learning environment for participants to learn the fundamental skills of ice hockey.  The non-competitive and positive atmosphere not only makes a child’s first experience with hockey positive, but also creates an environment in which they can excel.  

Participants will not only learn to skate but the skills and game of ice hockey, but will also develop self-esteem and self-confidence.  The program operates under the premise that if a player's introduction to the sport is positive, they will develop a lifetime love of the game.​

An excellent ice rink to see high school hockey.

Excellent venue to learn skating for both adults and children. For nearly a year now, my husband and I have been attending Coach Bob's lessons. While usually enjoyable, the lessons may be difficult at times.

Very enjoyable to practice skating on ice that resembles NHL ice
