Who are the Masters?
The Ottawa Pacers Masters group skaters are of all levels - beginners through advanced. A couple of our members have skated since they were kids, but most took up speedskating during their 30s, 40s or 50s. The group includes both Senior (18-29 years old) and Master (30+ years old) skaters. Currently our members range from 20 to 60+ years of age.
Our members skate for many different reasons - fun, fitness, racing and anything in between.
This is a sociable group, and you'll often find participants meeting for a beverage following practice.
How to Get Started
Why not start with our 4-week trial speed skate program! This program has been designed to teach you the basics and to give you a taste of speedskating. If you like it, you can join the club. You will need some safety equipment, which will be available for rent/purchase. Skate rental for the trial program is included in the trial fee; members can rent skates from the club for the season.
If the information you want is not on these pages, contact the masters rep or club information officer for more information. Or, come to a training night and speak with current members.
