Upcoming Events - AUS and CAN

Two upcoming events that have attracted a large group of masters interest over last couple of years are almost upon us again.

In the first weekend of October, Boondall ice rink in Brisbane, Australia will host the 2009 Australian Short Track National Championships.

So far, the masters division has confirmed participants from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. There is also at least one skater coming across from New Zealand in Igor Ozerov, former Russian Olympian from the 1994 WG, seeking to enter back into the sport in the masters division.

Another event that is fast gaining popularity is the 2009 Canmore Masters Ice Racing Challenge. Ian Mellors from the Canmore /Banff club has sent an extensive run down on the events to be held over the weekend of the 11th to 13th of December 2009.

For both event's information, click on the links in the 'Upcoming Events' heading in the right columns.

Once again, if you have information about any local upcoming events, please don't hesitate to email me.

Also, very shortly, I will be updating the IMSSC ST site (IMSTC)as well, so information for Masters will be blended between the two sites.
