My sons had no interest in hockey so I didn't go too deep into this but putting a kid into skating only when it is hockey they are interested in, seems like a good way to kill their interest in skating or hockey.
I would hope any coach at the Timbits level would be more than fine to help kids learn to skate. It would seem to be an expectation that would be part of the job.
Additional skating lessons, if time/money allow it, could be a great way to help the kid develop skills, but as a stand alone without hockey seems like it would be disappointing for them.
