Oval Situation: 

The Oval is re-opening to the public on Saturday January 29.  CSSA will resume its regular schedule starting Saturday January 29.  All current safety guidelines remain in place.

Status on ABLT: 

With the Oval re-opening to the public, this bodes very well for ABLT. If you have not registered yet, please do so as registration is capped at 200 skaters.  The Oval also has several competitions on the calendar for February starting with a long-track time trial on February 5th.  However, the university does reserve the right to cancel competitions should the Covid situation change.

Photos: 

Photos were distributed just prior to Christmas.  If you have not received yours yet, please follow-up with your coaches.
