Speed Skating






SPEEDSKATING is the fastest sport on ice and the Chiller is home to Central Ohio's first and only short track speedskating club.  Our club formed in June 2002 and we are fortunate to have former US Olympian Charles King as club coach.

Speedskating is a great sport for almost anyone.  Our club is open to skaters from beginner to experienced, boys and girls, men and women.  We have members who skate because they want to race and compete while others skate just for fun and fitness!  Most skaters are new to speedskating when they first join our club although some have experience playing hockey, figure skating and inline skating.  ALL ARE WELCOME!


For more information on the Chiller Speedskating Club contact Norm - njulaw@sbcglobal.net.  We typically practice Monday and Thursday evenings, and Saturday mornings (click here for this month’s schedule), so stop by and check it out for yourself!  We have a limited selection of rental skates available for club use.

The 2007-2008 season is underway for the Chiller Speedskating Club!  The season opened on Oct 20-21 in Rochester, NY with two 1st place finishes, six qualifying for Nationals and many personal bests.  First place finishes went to David Lee, Master Men 40-49 Division and Chris Knapp, Men’s Open B Division.  Qualifying for Nationals are David Lee, Chris Knapp, Alex Davis, Max Lee, Boston Shields, and Diana Harrell.

Congratulations to all who made the trip, skated hard, set personal bests and just plain had fun!  We look forward to many more successful meets this season.  Next up—Junior Nationals , Nov. 17-18 for our qualifying Junior Skaters.
