Our next get-together => a "Try Speedskating" night, combined with an opp to join the viewing party for watching 06 February opening night event action of the XXV Winter Olympic Games, as is to be held in Milano /Cortina, Italy (through 22 Feb).
Attendees will be joining into a group - based on PCSS club members young & old - all gathered around a TV broadcast, watched on the multiple ceiling-mount screens in the foyer area of the Park City Recreation Ice Arena.
We are planning to have available a tabled spread of snacks & soft drinks.
Among the athletes to be looking out for - one should be our Alumni former PC Speedskating club junior member, 2022 Winter Olympic Games Bronze Medalist in Long Track Speed Skating - Casey Dawson (seen here left back row of this background image) - seeking to extend his success to also include a podium finish these 2026 Oly Games!
Prior "try speedskating" type events we have arranged for free, but for something that could attract more substantial attendance, in order to make ends meet, we are setting a cost for pre-registration at $50 to this event . . . => Invitation open to sign up for assurance of getting in via the link below =>>>
Best to show up in sufficient time ahead of the later on-ice session starting time 17:15 (5:15 PM)- in order to get ready for participating being able to use club equipment we are making available. This should allow time for proper gear set-up & adjustment - skates, helmet, pads, gloves - our inventory in a variety of sizes available for this - our next event session of "Try Speedskating". . .
Broadcast time for the following Olympic Games Opening Ceremony remains to be confirmed, though this is anticipated to be around 20:00 (8:00 PM).
We invite skaters of every standard - whether they have aspirations of achieving athletic fame in the sport - or not - to come join in to experience the fun. To begin with - this is yet another opp to trying skating on some fast gear, safety-augmented. Then later - enjoy becoming part of the social repartee gatherees => club members coming together with friends / family & maybe you - a wanna-be skate club newbie!
