Week of February 11, 2018

Good evening Blizzard families,

Congratulations to all our Blizzard athletes who competed in the Iceman today! In addition to skating, our members also competed as runners. We also had (at least) two Associate members who completed the entire competition on their own - congrats Maisie and Simon! Also - big news from Quebec. PG Blizzard Kieran Hanson had a fantastic competition, he earned 5 medals and was awarded the overall title for the Male-14 category at the Canadian Age Class Long Track competition. Congratulations, Kieran. See the attached picture of Kieran with his hardware.

Our Team Canada athletes are putting in some great performances on the Olympic ice in Korea. I'm sure they are providing inspiration for current and future speed skaters. Its exciting to watch.

Blizzard athletes will also be heading to BC Winter Games in for February 22-25th - best wishes for a great competition for all of you.
