OSSA had a strong showing at Canada Cup 1 this past weekend in Calgary. We had 12 skaters racing and 3 current or former OSSA Officials involved in the competition. Jackie Fackoury led the starting team, Jacky Shoebridge was the Chief Referee and Sue Steckle was the Recorder.

Racing highlights include Andria Scarpelli finishing 1st in the 1500m distance and 2nd overall, and Sam Galloway finishing 6th in the 1500m.
