Team BCSSA sent a team of 19 skaters, led by coaches Sandi Vyse (Kamloops Long Blades) and Keven Fitzpatrick (Vancouver Velocity), to the Canadian Age Class Long Track (CACLT) Championships in Winnipeg this past weekend. The skaters, coaches, parents and officials braved the cold to race skaters from across the country.

Team BCSSA produced excellent results across the board, including skating to overall championships in the M13 category (Samuel Green, Ridge Meadows Racers) and the female senior team pursuit. Full results are available on the Speed Skating Canada website.

Special thanks to Michael Mong, who can always be found rinkside snapping great pictures! Michael’s album from Winnipeg is available on SmugMug.

Team BCSSA will be in action next at the Canada West Short Track Championships in Grand Prairie at the end of the March.
