Current members, members from past seasons and people who tried speed skating with us even for a night are all welcome to join us on the ice and at our get-together after we get off the ice on Thursday. Please feel free to bring a treat to share.

Please return your club skates - If you have club skates, please return them on Tuesday or Thursday or contact me to arrange a time to drop them off at my house.

Hope to see you on the ice this week!

Inspriration

Our friends at the Toronto Speed Skating demonstrated short track for the "Day on Skates" at Harbourfront yesterday. The highlight for me was meeting Kristina Grove. She brought her Vancouver 2010 medals.  

No Skating Tonight - Thursday, Feb 2

There is NO SKATING tonight - Thursday, Feb 2. Our permit was given to a large school group. I was assured that this will not happen again.

We will resume our usual Tuesday and Thursday schedule at Martingrove rink next week, assuming there aren’t any labour disruptions.

If you want to get some extra skating in, keep in mind that there is pleasure speed skating available on Sunday mornings and Monday evenings:

• On Sunday from 9:30 am to 10:30 am, we can skate at the hockey pad at Giovanni Caboto. It's located at 1369 St Clair Avenue West near Lansdowne.

• On Monday, speed skating is offered at the Prince of Wales rink from 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm. This rink is located at 1 Third Street between Islington and Royal York, south of Lakeshore Blvd. It offers a beautiful view of the downtown skyline. We even had fireworks this past Monday!
