Speed Skating NWT supports athletes pursuing their goals to the highest level of their abilities.
At the beginning of each season, coaches work with athletes to select competitions that will help them work towards their goals. The 2025-2026 Alberta competition calendar and the 2025-2026 Short Track Master Bulletin are now available.
Speed Skating NWT has a history of high performance athletes, who have graduated from local programs to join the National Training Centres in Calgary and Montreal. Speed Skating NWT alumni, who have competed nationally and internationally, include Michael Gilday (Team Canada – 2014 Sochi Olympics), Hannah Clark (Olympic Oval Elite Pathway), Wren Acorn (Team Canada Next Gen Member), Braeden Picek (Olympic Oval Elite Athlete Pathway), Luke Dizon (Olympic Oval Elite Athlete Pathway), and Byran Clinton (Olympic Oval Elite Athlete Pathway). When athletes achieve this level, Speed Skating NWT continues to support their training and competition through administrative and financial support.
