Happening Saturday, October 22 and Sunday, 23, 2022, this is a great way to have a friend join you on the ice, or for anyone to come try out our speed skate classes (and even try on a pair of speed skates if you are older)! Find out more about when your age group is invited to join us on the ice!
Speed skates can be rented from the YKSSC for a cost of $125 per season (additional cheque of $125 is required as deposit). If you are looking to rent skates, come by our locker room at the Multiplex (back room of the Ed Jeske ice surface) on Tuesday, September 13 from 7:45 to 9:00 pm, or Sunday, September 18 from 3:45 to 5:00 pm. If neither of these times work, please contact our skate coordinators at ykspeedskating@gmail.com for skate rental arrangements.
Registration for Learn-to-Skate, SS1, SS2, SS3 and Competitive Skating is now open. Visit our registration page for more information and how to register.
All skaters must be registered before getting on the ice. We are looking forward to seeing our skaters back on the ice and welcoming new ones to our great club!
If you want to register in person or ask us questions about our programs, please visit our table at the Yellowknife Community Showcase, Wednesday, September 14 (from 6:00 – 8:00) at the Multiplex gym.
YKSSC is calling for parents to volunteer to put their name forward to be on the board for the upcoming 22-23 season, which will be voted in at the AGM on May 15, 2022. We are looking to fill the role of Vice-President, Secretary and Fundraising Coordinator. These roles are vital to the structure of our club and it is very important we fill these seats for the upcoming season.
The commitment of our board is not much time – a board meeting once a month and then duties according to the position held. Your reward is helping ensure our club remains strong and continues to grow and prosper for your children (and other young Yellowknifers) in the future. Please reach out and let us know you can help for the upcoming season.
