The Kamloops River City Racers will be hosting the Morrison brothers during their visit. This is an opportunity for speed skating enthusiasts to meet Denny and Jay, get some autographs, and have a picture taken with an Olympic Gold medal! You will hear about their journey to the National Team and Olympic Podium and keeping fun in the sport.
All members of the River City Racers and River City Racers ‘learn to’ skaters are welcome to join the Morrison brothers on the ice. Other speed skating clubs have also been invited to attend so we can demonstrate some team drills and games on ice for the public.
When:
Sunday April 11, 2010
Where:
McArthur Island Park Sports Centre Arena. The 'meet and greet' will be held in the Curling Lounge, and we will use the international sized ice surface for skating activities.
Schedule:
2:00 – 3:00: Meet and Greet
3:00 – 3:15: Celebrity race!! Maybe Mayor Milobar and the Blazers Digger will try out speed skates in a fun race against our club’s very own 11 year old 2010 Canadian Champion and 8 year old 2010 provincial champion. :-)
3:15 – 5:00: Club skaters will join the Morrisons on the ice. Denny and Jay will demonstrate some of their favourite skating drills and games on ice, as well as the ‘team’ approach to speed skating competition. They will also review the skill of starting and shooting the blade at the finish!
