Skating & Hockey Programs for Kids in Mississauga (2026)

Most Mississauga skating and hockey listings don't publish a price. Only 8 of the 39 listings in our directory show one, so for the other 31 you'll need to phone or email to get a number. The published prices are useful, but they cover different things, so compare them with care.

How much do skating & hockey programs for kids cost in Mississauga?

Per session is the most common way prices are published here. 5 of the 8 priced listings charge per session, from $40 to $70, with a median of $55. Two list a per-class rate, from $14.50 to $60, and one lists a term price of $232.

The per-class rate at the low end belongs to a program for riders aged 14 and up, so it isn't a fair comparison for a six-year-old. Check the price note before you compare. A 30-minute session is not the same as an hour, and a "from" price usually means the cheapest option, not the one you'll end up buying. The table below has every published price in the directory.

Several of the unpriced listings are city-run arenas. Those sites often have their own fee schedules, which means a price may exist even though this directory doesn't show it. For a wider sense of what after-school classes cost across Peel, see What after-school classes cost in Peel.

What age can kids start?

Age ranges are published on only a few listings, so don't assume a program will take your child. The youngest starting ages in the directory are 3+ at Mississauga Skating Club and Canadian Ice Academy. Those two are the places to start if your child is very young and you want a skating program rather than a team.

Other listings set a higher floor or a narrower window:

• Vic Johnston Community Centre takes ages 4–17.
• Streetsville Meadowvale Skating Club takes ages 4–15.
• Performance Hockey Academy is listed for ages 4–6, which suits a first-time player.
• Front Line Hockey School lists ages 5–14.
• Mississauga Hockey League lists ages 4+.
• Streetsville Tigers Hockey Club is for ages 9–18, so it's a team for school-age kids rather than a beginner class.

If your child is younger than the listed range, ask the club directly. Ask whether there's a separate group for younger skaters or players, because a listing won't always say. Our guide on After-school activities by age covers other options for the same age groups.

Which ones offer a trial class?

Very few. The directory shows 0 free trials, so don't count on a no-cost first class. The one trial with a published price is at Full Stride Skating Lab, which lists Trial: $88.50. For the other listings, you'll need to ask whether a trial exists and what it costs.

If you do book one, use it to watch how the coach handles the kids who are struggling, not just the ones who are already good. Notice whether the instructor explains things in a way a new skater can follow, and whether anyone checks in on the child who falls down most. Our trial class checklist has more questions to bring.

Skating club or hockey program: which is which?

The directory separates these clearly enough that you can usually tell from the name, but read the listing before you commit. Port Credit Figure Skating Club in Port Credit and Mississauga Skating Club in City Centre are both listed as skating clubs. Streetsville Hockey League and Port Credit Hockey Association are leagues, which is a different commitment from a single drop-in class.

Skating clubs and hockey schools often overlap in what they teach at the beginner level, so ask what your child will actually be doing in the first month. A league will expect your child to join a team, which can mean more ice time, more travel and more cost than a single weekly class. Ask how many practices a week are expected before you sign up.

Are there goalie or girls-only programs?

Yes, a few. Jon Elkin Goalie School in City Centre is a goalie school, which is a useful option if your child has already decided to play in net. Mississauga Girls Hockey League, also in City Centre, is a girls' league, and Ontario Women's Hockey Association is listed at 225 Watline Ave. Neither the league nor the association publishes an age range in the directory, so ask whether a child at your daughter's or son's age can join before you plan around it.

Where are they in Mississauga?

City Centre has the most listings by a wide margin, with 13 of the 39. Streetsville has 5, Meadowvale has 4, Port Credit has 3, Churchill Meadows has 2, Erin Mills has 1, and Malton has 1. Browse each area on its own page:

• Skating & hockey in City Centre
• Skating & hockey in Streetsville
• Skating & hockey in Meadowvale
• Skating & hockey in Port Credit

Of the Mississauga listings, 32 are private and 7 are city-run. Your choice between the two will affect registration timing, so check how each one opens sign-ups. Our guide to registration dates in Peel explains how the windows usually work, and the full list of skating & hockey programs in Mississauga shows the current set.

Some listings have no street address, which is worth fixing before you sign up. 5 listings in the directory don't show one. Ask for the address and the room or pad where classes run, since a club may use more than one site. The directory also lists 15 programs in Brampton and 5 in Caledon, on their own pages: Brampton and Caledon.

What should you ask before signing up?

Start with the price, because you'll need to ask for it on most listings. Ask whether the fee is per session, per term or per class, and whether ice time, skate sharpening or rentals are included. The published prices don't always say, so get the answer in writing.

Then ask about the age range, whether a trial class is available, and when registration opens. Ask for the total cost for the first month, not just the session rate, because that's the number that will hit your bank account. A session rate that looks low can add up quickly once you include the extras.

Read the ratings carefully. Streetsville Tigers Hockey Club shows a rating of 5 from only 2 reviews, which tells you very little. Vic Johnston Community Centre shows 4.5 from 466 reviews, which is a more solid signal, though it still says nothing about your child's coach.

Finally, ask the club how it handles kids who are new to skating or hockey, and whether it expects them to already own gear. A club that answers those questions clearly is usually easier to work with than one that only sends a brochure. Write down the answers, and compare them across the two or three programs you're considering.
