Speed skating cancelled today - Thursday should be fine

With today's weather forecast, tonight's skating is cancelled, Tuesday Jan 8th. It wouldn’t be much fun in the rain or with that much water on the ice. (Sorry Christine, I know you’d skate in spite of these conditions!)

If any of you who are Tuesday only members would like to skate this Thursday, Jan 10th instead, please join us then. Let's hope our rink attendants can restore the ice by then! Our permit is from 7:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. so plan on showing up a few minutes early so we can skate the full hour.

Last Thursday, we had a special guest at our practice. Adam started short track last year with Brampton Speed Skating. He chose to attend University of Calgary so that he could skate on the long track at the Olympic Oval. He showed us his brand spanking new Viking clap skates, and took a few laps on them. He was pretty fast in spite of the short track at Martingrove.

Incidentially, I enjoyed reading about Andrew Love's tour of the Viking factory, where Adam's skates were made. Check it out!
