Fall 2010 Update

The Etobicoke Speedskating Club is a recreation level club based at Martingrove Rink. This year we have secured additional ice time at Sunnydale Rink on Sunday mornings and at Prince of Wales on Monday nights - that 4 1/2 hours per week!

Skating will get started once the rinks are open in early December. Stay tuned for the exact dates for club sign-up and for skating to get underway.

Jim Charbonneau is organizing a Club Skate Purchase Program with VH. He skated on these at the Olympic Oval in Calgary - very comfortable and fast. Special club pricing if we get 5 or 10 people to purchase... email Jim - ocharby [at] rogers [dot] com

The last piece of news is that construction of the skate trail in Colonel Sam Smith Park is finished. Some of the corners look pretty tight, so it won't be the place to set any speed records!
