The Toronto Inline Skating Club kicked off its 2012 campaign with a good practice earlier this evening.
A strong core of experienced skaters were joined by a dash of new skaters. Together, all these skaters will form groups that will act a spring-board for working together to build and improve technique, racing strategy & tactics, fitness, and camaraderie.

Congratulations to TISC”s Morgane Echardour and Travis Shaw who will be competing in the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Morgane Echardour assured her spot on Canada’s Pan American Games roster by qualifying at the Canadian Outdoor Championships in Harriston in July. Travis Shaw, who also competed in the qualifying competition, was recently offered a spot on the team since last week Canada was given the option to allow a male skater to compete.
Wayne Burrett will also be in Mexico supporting Canada’s team. Mike Murray (TISC Life-time Honourary Member) is the team coach.
Being part of the Pan American Games is an important honour.

Roller sports and roller speed skating is part of a great family and community of sports.
