You should also bring the Rule Book they sent to you; be sure to put your name in it. Also bring, Pen and pencil, some paper, and the on-ice equipment (see details below). This is a long full day of classroom and ice instruction. We try to make it fun but there is a lot of information to cover. So be prepared to be attentive all day.
• Level 2 participants may should also bring their Basic (red) manual. We highly recommend looking over or completing the Open Book Test, reading the Case Book in the Rule Book. There is a Closed Book test for Level 2 at end of day.

Bring lunch, snacks and drinks, enough to get you thru the day. Or have someone bring you lunch, or be prepared to eat whatever the rink has or is available by driving somewhere nearby. (Lunch is scheduled from Noon - 12:45).

Have equipment for the on-ice session (1:45- 3:45 PM); also a snack or drink for after.
