Teen 1 & 2 were back on the ice this morning burning off their Halloween treats! Glad to be training in such a beautiful facility. @albertaspeedskating @winsportcanada #shorttrackspeedskating #traintotrain #calgaryspeedskating

We are so happy to be back training @theolympicoval! Perfect timing considering the cold weather @albertaspeedskating

Sometimes we like to look back at how the Oval actually came to be. These early construction photos showcase an amazing facility that continues to showcase the ...VERY BEST athletes in high performance sport. "The university had desired an indoor ice facility since the early 70s. A report from 1975 notes: It is recommended that a Winter Sportsplex be completed by September, 1976 or as soon thereafter as possible. Any further delay of construction will jeopardize an already serious shortcoming of physical space need. The realization of this structure with its facilities for research will allow The University of Calgary to become the centre for scholarly activity in winter sports for Western Canada. Even though the Oval is 33+ years old - and requires a little more love and care - it is still an incredible facility with many more years of life left. Do you have old photos of the Oval? We'd love to see them.

Thank you to all the parents who help getting the pads set up before practice & removed after practice. Your help is appreciated. We need your help setting up the pads to ensure that our children have more time skating! Alberta Speed Skating WinSport's Canada Olympic Park #thankyouvolunteers
