Subscriptions to Practice Ice

  • Subscriptions for one hour of practice ice per week in a term (eg Winter 1 term, Winter 2 term, Spring term), are available to all USFS NEWSC members
  • Each Spring Thursday subscription package costs $224.00 and contains 16 flex-tickets that expire at the end of the term.
  • Each Spring Tuesday subscription costs $252 and contains 18 flex-tickets that expire at the end of the term.
  • Tickets may be used on either Tuesday or Thursday sessions.
  • All subscription tickets are non-transferrable and expire at the end of the term. Families with more than one skater may share tickets, as long as each skater has purchased a subscription.
  • New subscriptions will be offered for each term. Tickets may be used as soon as they are purchased, even if the listed term has not yet begun.
  • A practice ice subscription, is required for any NEWSC USFS member skater taking private lessons from our coaches on NEWSC practice ice. The practice ice time may be used in any combination of half-hour sessions on a Tuesday or Thursday.
  • Because the tickets must be hand-delivered to the skater, the subscription should be purchased on EntryEeze at least 24 hours before skating.
  • Skaters purchasing a subscription will receive a sheet of attendance tickets (note that a ticket is different from a coupon and is not interchangeable to other subscribers!) bearing their name and the expiration date of the term. They may be used on any NEWSC practice ice session before the expiration date, in any pattern. For example, skate one hour (2 tickets) each week; or skate 90 minutes (3 tickets) some weeks, fewer or none in other weeks.
  • There will be no makeups and no prorating of subscription prices for skaters who subscribe late.
  • FULL subscription holders may supplement their practice time with unexpired BLUE coupons  used for additional ice. Skaters currently owning unexpired BLUE coupons must spend down coupons in pairs (at least one hour of skating required for each visit).
  • A mini-subscription, for 30 minutes of practice ice per week in a term, will be offered each term to young skaters enrolled in our LTS classes. Mini-subscriptions are also available to subscribers who want additional practice time in addition to their already purchased full subscription.
