Why Speed Skating?

Speed, technical work and precision come together to make one of the most exciting sports you’ll ever try. Speed skating is the fastest human-powered sport on the planet…and fast is FUN!

Try it Out!

Have you done some skating and want to try speed skating in the long blades? Our Learn to Speed Skate program is $200 for 8 on-ice sessions.

This fee includes OSSA/SSC membership and use of all necessary equipment. You just show up in athletic type clothes and give it a go!

If you decide to stay for the season (converting to our All Ages Development Program), the $200 will be used to discount your season fees.
