Local speed skaters take gold
March 28, 2013 · 0 Comments
Two young local speed skaters brought home medals as part of a contingent of youth who took part in a short track speed skating competition in Barrie recently. The young skaters practice weekly with the newly formed King Tornados Speed Skating Club in Nobleton. As a member of the Ontario Speed Skating Association, the King Tornados club is looking to increase awareness of speed skating in Ontario, not only as a competitive sport but as a recreational sport as well. “It’s a great way to develop and maintain fitness,” says Club organizer Rose Kimber, “It’s really a lifelong sport, you can compete or you can just come out to skate to keep in shape.” New members are always welcome to come out, the club offers sport try-outs for people of all ages and equipment can be rented from the club. Everyone of any age is encouraged to try. Practices occur weekly at the Nobleton arena and further information and opportunities for corporate sponsorship can be found on their website, www.kingspeedskating.com or by emailing info@kindspeedskating.com
