OUR SEASON RUNS FROM SEPTEMBER 2nd TO MARCH 31st, 2026
We skate to learn, we skate for fun & we skate to compete, both at a Regional and Provincial Level.
Our season is well underway. We have a nice mix of returning skaters and new skaters this year and if you are interested in joining them please do not hesitate to reach out. Our racers are back in action. We had a podium finish at the Gloucester meet last weekend and have a team going down to Belleville for the Quinte meet on Sunday, November 9th.
Thursday evening sessions start this coming week, on November 6th, at 5pm.
Our Boston Pizza fundraiser at the Lansdowne Street location will take place on Wednesday, November 26th between 5 and 8pm and we are currently planning a ‘bring a friend to the arena’ event and I’ll tell you more about that in my next post.
I’ll also tell you more about the pre-Olympic get together we are planning for January. It is exciting to think that the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina are now less than 100 days away and given the excellent results our Canadian skaters are currently achieving on the World Cup racing circuit we are hopeful for podium finishes next February.

President
