DESCRIPTION:
Pack style racing on a measured oval track on the ice rink. You may wear whatever skates you have...hockey, figure or speedskates. Everyone skates in three races at different distances by age and gender. Points are awarded for where you finish in each race. Overall winners are determined by your three race combined total.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
You must wear a helmet (hockey or bicycle). You must wear some kind of gloves. No shorts or short sleeve shirts! We recommend you wear shin guards, knee pads and a throat protector.
RULES:
Six to eight skaters on the start line. You may not touch another skater to make a pass. You may not intentionally block a passing skater by moving to your side. Winner of race is determined by the first skate blade crossing the finish line and not body lean! Additional rules will be explained on the ice by the chief referee.
AGE DIVISIONS:
5 & under, 6-10 years old, 11-16, 17+
Boys race against boys and girls race against girls.
SCORING SYSTEM:
Overall winner of each division is determined by how you finished in your three race distances and not just one distance!
