As of early April, Quebec’s skaters have been training at the Taz, Montreal’s new 200-meter indoor track.

The facility’s schedule features two weekly speed sessions on Saturday & Sunday mornings from 9am to 11am. Different groups, including the Ottawa Inline Skating Club & VRL, are running coaches sessions. Alliance Roller Vitesse is coordinating use of the track by the different groups.

You can view some photos from this past Sunday’s session which organized by VRL and coached by Robert Mitchell.

The Taz and Harriston’s CITC are Canada’s only 200-meter purpose built roller speed skating facilities.

Alliance Roller Vitesse–

Née d’une volonté de rallier tous les patineurs, l’Alliance Roller Vitesse se définie comme le regroupement des forces de chaque club de l’est du pays.

Nous proposons que tous les clubs intéressés se relaient afin de tenir un séance hebdomadaire d’entraînement de vitesse au Taz.

L’arrivée d’une toute nouvelle piste de 200m dans ce site où logeait naguère un dépotoir est un signe de renouveau!

Le Taz, Montreal’s newest indoor inline skating facility, will have a dedicated slot for roller speed skating on the 200-meter track.

For $10 (cash for the time being), skaters can skate on Sundays between 9am and 11am. The session will be coached.

The track features an integrated AMB chip timing system. Chips can be purchased for $120. The use of timing chips is NOT mandatory.
