The Barrie Speed Skating Club is an organization in your community committed to the Olympic sport of speed skating and provides the opportunity for amateur skaters to represent the City of Barrie and the surrounding areas on multiple levels.

Your contributions would help BSSC to further develop skaters from the grassroots level to the competitive level and perhaps one day the Olympic level.

Learn more about our club development and progress below.

Grassroots development

Our club provides opportunity for youth to be exposed to the exciting, fast paced sport of short track speed skating. All skaters are provided with a safe and fun introduction to the sport through drills, games and races. BSSC values and promotes community and a love of life long fitness.

Small but mighty club

BSSC is a small club but has done extremely well on the Provincial Elite Circuit and the Provincial Regional Circuit. Each year the BSSC has had skaters make and represent Team Ontario at the Canada East Championships. Many skaters have also qualified and participated in the Ontario Winter Games with the most recent BSSC skater at the Games held in Barrie during 2019.

REaching For More

Many BSSC skaters have continued to pursue speed skating beyond Barrie at the senior level, reaching for greater success in this exhilarating sport. Whether it is moving out to Calgary to train at the Olympic Oval, competing at the Canada Games or representing Canada at the Special Olympics, these skaters started at the grassroots level with BSSC.
