OUR SEASON RUNS FROM SEPTEMBER 3rd TO MARCH 20th, 2025
We skate to learn, we skate for fun & we skate to compete, both at a Regional and Provincial Level.
I trust everyone is having that perfect summer. I always find this time of year enjoyable. The days are warm and the nights cool. The new skating season is on the horizon and the woodland is starting to change colour as one season gives way to the next. It feels like anything is possible.
This season has the making of a very exciting one for us. The new arena on Lansdowne Street, the Miskin Law Community Centre, should be operational this coming Fall. While we will not be moving into the new arena, as our weekly skates will continue at the Healthy Planet Arena, the existence of the new arena will have a positive impact on our program in the New Year, allowing us to offer skaters more ice time on a Thursday evening. I will provide more information in this regard at a later date.
For now, let me tell you about our skating program this Fall.
Registration will take place on Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024 between 5pm and 7pm. We have ice that same night which our returning skaters are welcome to utilize. It will however be an un-coached session. We will be skating on the same pad as last season, which the City have now named the South Pad.
Our regular skating season starts on Tuesday September 10th at 5pm.
This season our adult recreational program will start on Saturday, October 19th and the first race in the Eastern Region will take place in Kingston on October 26th.
I look forward to seeing you all back in the arena soon and until then wish you a safe and enjoyable Labour Day long weekend.
Simon Barker,
President
