OUR SEASON RUNS FROM SEPTEMBER 2nd TO MARCH 31st, 2026
We skate to learn, we skate for fun & we skate to compete, both at a Regional and Provincial Level.
Three days in and Canada has two medals, one of which was won by a speed skater! GO CANADA GO.
We are opening our doors on Tuesday, February 17th to give people a taste of what it is like to skate on the longer blade and we would be happy if you would join us.
We have two blocks of time allocated to the Open House – 4.45 to 5.50pm and 5.45 to 6.50pm. If you are considering joining us it would help our preparations if you told us which block of time would be the more convenient for you.
Skaters will need to bring with them a CSA approved helmet, a neck guard and gloves. A hockey helmet will work if the cage is removed. We do have spare equipment if needed and would recommend layered clothing. While it is cold out on the ice a little exercise quickly warms a skater up.
We provide the skates. Again, if you are considering joining us, it would help our preparations if you told us what size of running shoe you wear?
I look forward to seeing you on the 17th. Until then, enjoy watching the Winter Olympics.
Simon Barker,
President
