Champions
At Vernon Speed Skating Club all of our skaters are champions. Regional, Provincial, and National competitions allow our skaters to strive and thrive at their personal best, reaching levels they never thought possible. After all, a champion is not the one who always wins the race, but the one who gets up and goes harder the next time.
