Speed Skating Canada – Competitions will be held December 16-18 at the Olympic Oval

Calgary, December 13, 2016 – The top 64 junior short track speed skaters in Canada will be in action this weekend, December 16-18, at Calgary’s Olympic Oval for Speed Skating Canada’s 2016 Canadian Junior Championships.

The 32 male and 32 female skaters, between 14 and 19 years of age inclusively, will aim for one of the four spots per gender available to represent the country at the 2017 World Junior Short Track Championships to be held January 27-29 in Innsbruck, Austria. They will be chosen based on their overall results at the Canadian Junior Championships in the 500m, 1000m, 1500m and 1500m Super Final.

The competition will start Friday at 2 pm (local time) with the 1500m, followed Saturday with the 500m starting at 11 am, and Sunday at 10 am with the 1000m and the 1500 Super Final.

Rising stars to watch
Among the participants, four members of last year’s Junior National Team will try again to represent Canada at the 2017 World Junior Short Track Championships: Alyson Charles (Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension) and Marc-Olivier Lemay (Rivière-des-Prairies – Pointe-aux-Trembles borough) from Montréal, QC, as well as Danaé Blais from Châteauguay, QC, and Jade Quevillon from Laval, QC.
