About The Club

The Saskatoon Lions Speed Skating Club (SLSSC) is one of the oldest, continously operating speed skating clubs in Canada. It was formed in January, 1942, with Clarence Downey as the first coach. The Saskatoon Lions Clubs have been sponsors of our Club since 1943. We have recently celebrated our 60th Anniversary.
