Welcome to the home of Saskatchewan Speed Skating!
Saskatchewan Speed Skating Association is dedicated to creating an environment for the development, promotion and organization of recreational and competitive speed skating.
We are a community of skaters, coaches, volunteers and officials who believe speed skating is an affordable sport that promotes a healthy and active lifestyle.
Our speed skating clubs are located in seven communities: Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Melville, Nipawin and Humboldt. But we are always looking for opportunities to introduce the sport to other communities or establish new clubs where there is interest.
Speed skating encourages individuals to achieve their personal best through full participation. There are no bench-sitters in this sport - just a lot of fun and excitement.
Speed skating also provides an opportunity for athletes of all ages to grow and develop to compete on the national and world stage. World-class speed skaters, such as two-time Olympic gold medalist Catriona LeMay-Doan, silver medalist Justin Warsylewicz, and national team members Lucas and Mykola Makowsky, all grew out of Saskatchewan speed skating clubs. In the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Lucas Makowsky took home a gold medal as part of Canada's Pursuit Team.
So we encourage you to explore our web site, learn more about the sport and contact a speed skating club in your community.

Join a committee, join the discussion
Want to make a positive contribution to Saskatchewan speed skating? We encourage all members to consider participating in one of our four Sport Development Committees. Among other things, the committees will be exploring a variety of issues and developing recommendations for the Saskatchewan Speed Skating Executive to consider. To help guide these discussions, committees are provided with a discussion paper that outlines the issue and provides relevant background information. Click here to read the first discussion paper.
For more information on our Sport Development Committees, click here . If you are interested in joining a committee, please email Saskatchewan Speed Skating .
