Minto Skating Club

For skaters who will be at EOSIC on Friday, we've made a group reservation for 7:00 on Friday evening. This seemed to be the day and time when the most skaters will be in town and available. We tried to pick a time that would accommodate the most skaters, so my apologies to those skaters that are skating Friday evening or won't be in town yet.

If you'd like to join the group, contact Erich (Georgia's dad) and let him know your name and the number of people are in your party. We'd like to have a final number by Thursday, so don't delay.

Act now!

Reserve your spot today!

Good Luck to our skaters heading to EOSIC this weekend.  We hope you all have a great skate!

Here are the links for the  schedule,  Flight lists and  Starting Orders.

This class will be held from 6:15pm to 7:05pm on Wednesday nights, February 22nd - April 25th 2012 (no skating March 14th – March Break). 
 

Please remember that Skate Canada regulations stipulate that all helmets must be CSA approved Hockey Helmets.  We are not allowed to permit any other style of helmet on our sessions.

Do you have any unused, within the expiry date, CSA approved Hockey helmet that you no longer need?  If so please bring them in to us!

We would like to congratulate the Honourary Executive Director of The Minto Skating Club, Donald Jackson, on his recent appointment to the Order of Ontario, which is province’s highest official honour!

Here is the excerpt from the announcement,

"Donald Jackson of Whitby, world gold medalist in male figure skating who was the first to land a triple Lutz jump in competition in 1962 (a feat unmatched for 12 years) earning an unprecedented seven perfect scores."
