Try out speed skating at Treadwell Arena starting October 8

Treadwell Arena will offer drop-in speed skating clinics on Sundays throughout the season, beginning with a free session on October 8. The hour-long clinics will take place at 2:45 p.m. every other Sunday and cost $15 after October 8.

Skaters can register online in advance or drop in at their convenience. Short track speed skates are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Skaters must be at least 12 years of age. No speed skating experience is necessary, although participants should possess intermediate skating skills (able to skate comfortably and perform a snowplow stop).

Helmets are required during the clinic. A limited number will be available to borrow, or skaters are welcome to bring their own.
