The long and short of it is...ice speedskating is a sport for all ages and skill levels, from the beginning novice through Olympic and world class speedskaters. Whether you choose entry level skating, are looking for a recreational experience or a viable cross training alternative, or want a chance at the Olympic rings, speedskating offers unique developmental opportunities for athletic involvement and success. OSSA News: - The new fees annex for 2010-11 is available. (click to view)
- An updated DRAFT Competition Calendar and the first ranking list (updated 09-07-10) of the season is available!
Notes: - On the calendar:
- The only meet in question at this moment is the long track Canada Winter Games Trails, as we are working with Quebec on this.
- On the ranking list:
- The ranking list appears in club groupings so that coaches & presidents can check easily.
- Everyone starts with their best PB from last season with a 0 alongside.
- If NT is present, it means that the skater did not improve their time in that distance and coaches/presidents did not inform us of their PB in that distance at the end of last season when asked.
- Skaters with NT or blanks, thus having no total score, will have to skate the first ability meet of the season inorder to become active on the ranking list.
- If you find any discrepancies please contact your coach or club president who can send corrections to technical@speedskatingontario.org by Friday September 10th.
- After September 10th we will post an updated list in ranking order
