Speed Skating Canada

It is believed that from then on, ice skating races became a part of Canadian culture. In 1887, the Amateur Skating Association of Canada was formed. That year, the first official speed skating championships took place. At that time, figure skating and speed skating shared an organization, however the needs of the speed skaters were predominant. In 1894, the Amateur Skating Association of Canada became the first non-European organization to be a member of the International Skating Union. In 1905, short track speed skating was created and gaining popularity in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
