Sylvania Tam-O-Shanter Learn to Skate programs are committed to providing skaters, ages 3 through adult with the basic ice skating skills that are necessary to skate safely and competently, whether for figure skating, ice hockey or recreation.
This is an 8-week instructional program for persons ages 18 & older that want to learn the basics of skating and hockey. It is recommended that participants have been on ice skates before classes begin. All ice times are at Ottawa Park Outdoor Rink.
On January 23, 2026, five greats will be inducted into the Toledo Hockey Hall of Fame. Mike Greeder was with the Goaldiggers in 1980-82 & 1983-85. Mike served as Tam-O Rink Manager after his retirement from pro hockey until his passing in 2005. We're proud to honor his legacy.
