Hello Maritime speed skating clubs!
Speedy Kids is hosting the annual Oval Meltdown on the weekend of February 21st and 22nd in Halifax. Skaters can participate Saturday or Sunday or both days. The ice is booked from 7am to 1pm both days.
On Saturday the 21st, there are two events: the Olympic Style Sprint Championships for Novice (age 10 & older) and Open (age 13 & older) and the All Ages Mass Start (age 4 & older). The Icy Slice Pizza Party closes the day. We are excited to host the OS Sprints again this season, now that there are crash mats for the Oval. Please note there are minimum time standards for the OS Sprints, so that we will have time to get in the All Ages Mass Start event too. Skaters in the OS Sprints are welcome to participate in the All Ages MS too.
On Sunday the 22nd, there are Marathon Racing events: a 10km for advanced (and older) skaters, a 5km for intermediate skaters, and a 2km for beginner (and younger) skaters.
As always, we need lots of volunteers to help make the Oval Meltdown a success. If you are willing to help out in any capacity, please let Melissa (
melissa_andrew@hotmail.com) know.
We appreciate you circulating this information among your members and hope to see you in a few weeks!
Lisa and Melissa
