KENT— Kent Park and Recreation is collaborating with the Kent School to offer Learn to Skate and Free Skate this winter at the Kent School Ice Arena, 42 Macedonia Road, Kent.

Free skate begins Sunday, Dec. 29, and continues every Sunday until Feb. 16, from 9:30–10:30 a.m.

Skating will be free to all who participate thanks to the donation of ice time from Kent School to the Town of Kent.

Learn to Skate will take place Sundays, 8:30–9:30 a.m., beginning Sunday, Jan. 5 and running until Feb. 16. This year, Learn to Skate will be taught by Andrew Provost and Cassidy Pratt.

The cost is $13 per day for residents and $18 per day for nonresidents, with a discount for registering for all seven days.

Andy Provost is the assistant sixth form dean and assistant boys’ varsity hockey coach at Kent School. A graduate of the Class of 2015, he spent three years (2013-2015) on the Kent’s varsity hockey team, eventually serving as an assistant captain in 2015.

Prior to working at Kent, he played on the San Diego Marine Corps hockey team in California.

Cassidy Pratt is the associate director of college counseling and assistant girls’ varsity ice hockey coach at Kent School. Before diving into her work at Kent, she spent four years as a defenseman for Bowdoin College’s women’s ice hockey (2015-2019) and was a four-year member (2011-2015) and captain of the Kent School girls’ varsity hockey team.
