Short-Track Speedskating The short track season is underway. Newcomers are welcome at every ice time, except races. There are monthly races on a Saturday morning, and in November and January a trip to Whitehorse for a camp and races. All practices are at the Harry J. Macdonald Center (called the "Mac Center") in Eagle River, Alaska. We have practices most Saturdays and Wednesdays from September through March. See the Calendar for details. Saturday sessions are an hour and a half and have more technique work and games. Wednesdays are one hour speed sessions and we do more intervals and relays, and usually don't play games. Ice fees are about $15/session, but season and family discounts are usually offered - see below for details. We have club skates and safety gear available in most sizes for use during practice sessions. |
