Sault Speed Skating Club

01/27/2026

Following our most recent executive meeting, the Sault Ste. Marie Speed Skating Club has made the difficult decision to cease operations permanently.

The executive wishes to express our deep gratitude to the City of Sault Ste. Marie for its longstanding support and, on behalf of the entire club community, for honouring our club icon Art Jennings by naming the oval in his memory. This recognition has meant a great deal to our athletes, coaches, and volunteers over the years.

To our past skaters, club members, dedicated volunteers, and the families who were part of our journey throughout the club’s history—thank you. We hope you continue to cherish the memories of sport, friendship, and lifelong learning that came from your time with the Sault Ste. Marie Speed Skating Club.
Your involvement, passion, and commitment shaped a legacy we will always be proud of.

Our Club is all too familiar with the impacts of a changing climate. The last 4 years have been challenging to create outdoor ice. We are proud to see partners helping support the identity of skating outdoors and it's place in our collective history.

Hi Everyone

Based on interest from families and some discussion we have decided to focus our program on practical ice time once the oval is ready.

We will cancel the upcoming dry land sessions and launch our season once the ice is in.
Planning more frequent ice times to support skater development and taking advantage of our infrequent winter temperatures.

We will have more information soon on sessions once we confirm with the City.

Thanks All!
