During spring and summer, where there is limited ice time in Prince Albert, they travel to Saskatoon daily and train at the ACT Figure Skating Arena with their coach, Carla Matheson also of Prince Albert.

The team members are required to compete in the Saskatchewan Series. Their first competition, was in Leduc, Alberta, where they competed against skaters from Western Canada, there after, it was off to a training camp in Regina. They will continue their training in Prince Albert, at the Art Hauser Centre, as the summer and fall star skate camps, hosted by the Prince Albert Skating Club, kicks off this week.
