Fantastic sport! Our son absolutely loves it and can't wait for speed skating season to start each fall.

I am proud to call myself a Milton Speed Skating Alumni even as now represent the Black and Purple of London, my heart is still a Miltoner. Special thanks go to Coaches Tim, Sandra, and Arielle Howell whom coached me through my frankly triumphant final years in the Lime Green and Blue, even as I donned the Bright Red of Team Ontario. Even now, they are still extremely supportive and still give tips at meets I see them at, Thank you for everything you've done for me, Milton, and I recommend them to anyone wanting to get started in the great world of Short Track~
