As the holidays approach, there’s no better place to embrace the spirit of the season than on the ice at Cutting Edge Ice Academy. Known for its dedication to skill development, hockey, and goaltending excellence, Cutting Edge is rolling out a full slate of special holiday-season programming — including camps, skills clinics, 3v3 games, and goalie-specific training.

Here’s a look at what’s coming up at the rink this season.

Holiday Break Skating & Skills Camp (Dec 27–30) & Holiday 3v3


While the standard Holiday Break Camp offers structured skating and skills work, Cutting Edge also offers a fun, fast-paced alternative: Holiday 3v3. The 3v3 format — played on the rink’s appropriately sized surface — is ideal for skaters who want more puck touches, quick decision-making, and plenty of offensive

  • Holiday 3v3 offers a dynamic, high-tempo environment — perfect for players who love offensive play, tight puck control, and rapid transitions. Cutting Edge Ice Academy

  • Because the rink is sized to match the 3-on-3 format (two-thirds scale ice sheet), the experience is fast, compact, and skill-intensive — great for both youth and more experienced players. Cutting Edge Ice Academy+1

  • 3v3 sessions are a great complement to traditional camps: they give skaters a chance to apply skills in game-like, intense situations while enjoying the social, fun side of hockey.

If you want your child to sharpen their skills and enjoy some holiday-season hockey fun, Holiday 3v3 is a fantastic option.

🎆 New Year’s Camp — Ring in 2026 On the Ice

  • It’s a good chance to get some extra ice time while many rinks may be closed or have limited availability during the holiday.

For families and players who want to hit the ground skating in 2026 — this Camp is a solid, fun, and productive way to ring in the new year.

🏒 Why This Holiday Lineup Matters — For Skaters, Goalies & Families


  • Full-spectrum options: Whether you’re a skater, goalie, beginner or seasoned player — there’s something for everyone (skills camp, goalie-specific training, 3v3 fun games, plus New Year’s prep).

  • Skill retention & building: Holiday breaks often mean time away from the ice. These camps — especially goalie camp and 3v3 sessions — help players maintain or even improve skills during the downtime.

  • Community & festive fun: Skating around the holidays can be a joyful, social experience. Camps like Holiday 3v3 or New Year’s sessions give families and players a chance to connect, have fun, and stay active together.

  • Goalie-specific development: The IGS Goaltending Camp fills a vital niche — many hockey camps focus on skaters, but this gives goalies a dedicated, quality training block.

❤️ Final Thoughts & Call to Action


If you’re looking for a way to keep skating, training, and having fun during the holidays — or want to start 2026 strong — Cutting Edge Ice Academy’s holiday-season lineup has something for you.
