Ice capades— preschool style

Parent-tot skate classes at the Ice Sports Forum help preschoolers gain confidence on the ice without letting them in on a little secret: They're learning to skate. The 45-minute class for preschoolers starts at 11 a.m. Wednesdays. "It's a fun class. It's all about fun," coach Terry Lynn Zellner says. The class includes games. Kids work to pick up toys from the ice, grab and chase bubbles, do exercise dance moves, skate under a limbo line, and skate in and out of cones. The cost is $10 for parent and child.
