2009 Canadian Junior Short Track Championships
The Edmonton Speed Skating Association is proud to host the Canadian Junior Short Track Championships this year in Edmonton at Clareview Arena. This is the competition that chooses our Junior Team to represent Canada at the World Junior Short Track Championships. The top 32 male and female junior short track skaters (under 19 years) from across Canada will be here vying for a spot on the Canadian team. They will skate two distances each day.
Come out and cheer these future Olympians on! It will be exciting action, close to what will be happening in Vancouver at the 2010 Olympic Games. Clareview Arena is located at 3804 - 139 Avenue. Races start at 9 a.m. both days and go until 4 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. $3.00/day or $5.00/weekend.
Edmonton Fall Classic
Another Edmonton Fall Classic has come and gone! The weekend was a lot of work and time for many people and the Edmonton Speed Skating Association is proud and appreciative of its volunteer staff who pulled together to make this a successful event. Kudos to the 193 skaters, their families and coaches from Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Manitoba, The Calgary Oval Program, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavit. Many skaters set personal records during the two-and-a-half day event.
