Week of January 28, 2018

28/1/2018

 
Good evening Blizzard families,

Suddenly January is ending and many of our athletes are are looking forward to BC Winter Games, BC Short Track Provincial Championships and beyond.

Congratulations to all our athletes for outstanding performances at BC Long Track last weekend. Our two Masters competitors had excellent skates. Our Youth skaters also did very well - Nolan Vansickle (L2TB-male), Sarah Hanson (L2TB-female) and Kieran Hanson (T2T-14 male) all won their categories. Kieran and Jack Hanson have been selected to represent Team BC at the Canadian Age Class Class LT Championship in Quebec City on February 10-11th - way to go!!

Big congratulations also to our athletes for their energy and exuberance at Coyote Cup. For the first time in recent history, the PG Blizzard achieved the top score winning the Coyote Cup runner-up with 15 skaters, compared to the Kamloops Long Blades 32 skaters. Congratulations team! And special congratulations to Camilla and Pippa Earl and Pareesa Jones who competed in their very first out of town meet.

Nice cup, skaters!
Of course, the meet could not have occurred without our own talented Meet Recorder, Kari Rae, who overcome last minute computer disaster brilliantly, and electronic timing expert Dustin Hudyma, who worked late into the night to set up the electronic timing system. Thanks folks, the meets could not achieve success without you. This was a big meet - 116 skaters from across the province!
