Thursday was great though! I'm hoping I can get a group picture up soon but we'll have to see. The Canmore club skaters had the opportunity to come out and skate with us... Like I mean, literally skate with us. They were nervous at first, but after skating side by side with us in mixed relay groups, they soon learned that all we really are, are big kids. So needless to say we got along rather nicely!
The ice there is actually really nice! Very smooth and can hold our bodies on turns really well. The only thing is that mats come up quick with it being an NHL sized rink... Oh and it is very cold. Those kids are tough as nails to train there all week!
The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out at the Long Track World Cups with Matt Lipsett, a good friend I used to skate with "back in the day" (Ha). It was great catching up on old skating stories with him - what memories!
Now it's time to gear up for trials. They'll be running from Saturday the 12th to Monday the 14th.
One last thing, congratulations are in order for our Juniors here in the Oval Program. They all skated really well. We have three Juniors heading to Junior Worlds! Congratulations Kristy Shoebridge, Mikhail Choi and Rob Watson!!!
