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. 

Medicine Hat Speed Skating Club

Racing at Medicine Hat

Western Canada Cup, November 27-29

The Western Canada Cup held in Medicine Hat was a great success. About 140 athletes from four provinces: Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Alberta participated in an exciting speed skating weekend!

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all parents and the many volunteers who gave up their precious time to help make our meet a success. The sense of community where everyone “pitches in” was phenomenal all in the best interest of our great athletes which just confirms what a truly wonderful sport speed skating is. The MHSSC would especially like to thank Nicole Cooney from the LSSA who was our meet coordinator and Sharon Zorman who was the recorder. These ladies spent a lot of time behind the scenes as well as on the scene to ensure that the meet ran smoothly. THANK YOU for all you have done!

All athletes seemed to have had a very positive experience and we are proud of their accomplishments! We hope to see everyone back next year at our beautiful facility in Medicine Hat; hopefully the weather will be more cooperative. Thank you once again to all parents and volunteers who have supported our speed skating meet; your help was greatly appreciated! See you all next year!
