Competition in the Eastern Region

Racing at a short track meet

Racing is the opportunity to put into practice all you have learnt, and perfected in training. It has equal measure of excitement and heartbreak, and is not for the faint of heart.

On the Regional Circuit, meets are being planned in Ottawa on January 24, 2026, in Brockville on February 22 and in Kingston on March 14th.

On the Provincial Circuit, meets are being planned in Gloucester on October 26, in Belleville on November 9, in Kingston on December 20 and 21, in Ottawa on January 25, 2026, in Toronto on February 15 and in Newmarket on February 28 and March 1st, 2026.

This season the plan, once again, is to have three distinct racing circuits in Ontario.

A regional racing program for those skaters aged 4 to 8. A provincial circuit for those skaters aged 9 to 12 and an elite circuit for skaters aged 13 to 29.

Skaters that do not meet the time standards for the elite circuit or who decline to race in the elite circuit will be eligible to race in the provincial circuit.
