Special congratulations to Ian for making it out to both finals at his very first race of his young career!

Welcome back to an all new season of in-line speed skating! Hopefully everyone had a great summer during the off season, and are ready to get things rolling once again. First of all, please take note that we no longer practice on Tuesday night. Instead we will be practicing on Sundays and Wednesdays. Sunday will be at the usual time of 4:30-6:30 and Wednesday will be from 6:30 to 8:30. If all goes well, we may also pick up Monday night for a third practice. There is also a pretty good chance that we may see a fresh coat of roll-on on our floor this year!(November) Keep your fingers crossed!
