Resources

Speed Skating Canada is committed to making high quality resources available to coaches in every stage of development to assist them in delivering developmentally appropriate programming in a safe and welcoming environment. Resources are available in the form of SSC programs, sample forms and templates, informational videos, reference materials as well as links to other websites.
