TISC Update- Last Practice, RSO Oct. 12th, & Good Luck Sarah Hopkins

September 30, 2008

The last practice of TISC’s 2008 season was held earlier today. Now that the official TISC season is finished, some members may continue to meet and skate together at the track at Christ the King school and at other mutually arranged places.

As of today, the RSC Insurance for TISC Club skating practices ends. The RSC Insurance is valid for all official skating events left on the 2008 calendar and for those who will participate in the November to December months of the Scooter’s Indoor Speed Club season that is due to start November 2nd. More on the Scooter’s Indoor Season later.

RSO Points Series Stage 2 (Postponed Event)- the final race of this year’s Roller Sports Ontario Outdoor Speed Series is set for Sunday October 12th. Results from this stage will help determine the final overal & age category results for the 2008 Series.

Good Luck to Sarah Hopkins as she leaves for Calgary and training at the Calgary Oval. Sarah also plans to do some Indoor Inlining with the Calgary Roller Speed Club. She will return to Toronto at the end of March.

Early this past Saturday morning, TISC skaters took on the 42km of asphalt that lie between Two Harbours, MN, and Duluth, MN.
