Vancouver Speed Skating Club

Look at all these faces. 🩵As the ice melts and we head into the off-season, we’ve been looking back at these photos from our recently wrapped season. Honestly? We couldn’t be prouder of this community.

What started with 69 skaters on day one turned into months of early mornings, cold rinks, shared laughter, and incredible growth across every single program—from our tiniest beginners taking their first glides to our Masters and Special Olympics athletes pushing their limits.

Behind every single number on these slides is a story:
Countless sharpens of speed skating blades.
Parents driving through Vancouver winters to get to early practices.
Coaches and volunteers standing on the ice for hours, giving their all to help our skaters find their speed.

To our 88 skaters, our amazing coaching crew, the board, the volunteers, and the loudest cheering section (the parents)—THANK YOU. You didn’t just join a club this year; you built a family.

More coveted than an Olympic medal, Vancouver was proud to debut its Bucket Race Relay Champions trophy at MiniVan 2026 last week. Thank you to all the intrepid bucket racers who competed in our inaugural bucket relay—including our track stewards—and congratulations to the champions who hoisted the trophy at the awards ceremony! Can’t wait to do this all again next year :)
