A beautiful slightly windy evening greeted TISC skaters last night. And with that the 2023 season is now under way and rolling!
And so TISC’s 2023 season starts with a cancellation!
Given the track is wet and the forecast is calling for rain on-and-off this afternoon and evening, we will cancel today’s practice session.
The next skate is set for May 8th at 6pm. See you then, ready to roll!

4 of 11- WHAT TO BRING
This is a list of some of what you’ll need for a better experience skating with TISC:
5 of 11- WHO SHOULD SKATE WITH TISC
If you can start rolling, stop safely, turn in both directions, skate on a variety of terrain (up hill, downhill, rough asphalt, over curbs, hop over small obstacles), and you’re stable on your skates, then TISC is the right place for you to improve your fitness, technique, group skills, and race strategies.
We hope to provide programming focused on younger skaters in late-May.
6 of 11- PROGRAMMING AND HOW PRACTICE WILL BE DELIVERED
The 2023 TISC season will see a return to traditional activities, including group skating featuring drafting, technical work, relays, interval programs, distance skating, and drills to enhance skills and agility.
Grouping will be a core organizational component, where skaters will be in fluid and flexible groups at various times based on a variety of criteria, including skills, speed, age, size, interest, and stability on skates.
One coach, Peter Doucet, will lead most Monday skates. Additional coaches, instructors, leaders, and volunteers will contribute to held deliver more targeted programming as well as supervise & manage activities (for example group leaders within a pack/ group). In the event TISC is able to offer a second evening of skating on Thursdays, Larry Magloire will lead those skates.
7 of 11- GUESTS & VISITORS
The Toronto Inline Skating Club will offer two options outside of TISC membership for Guest and Visitors
8 of 11- RENTAL SKATES
TISC has a supply of rental racing skates (low boots, carbon fiber shell, big wheels!) available to its members. To receive rental skates, all components of TISC membership must be complete, payment and forms must first be completed and deposits must be made prior to skates being rented.
Cost is $100 at the beginning of the season to end of September or the end of the season + a $400 security deposit (post dated cheque which will be returned when the rental skaters are returned to TISC in similar condition than when rented), the cost is $50 if skates are returned within 1-month of the start of the rental. As the season progresses, the initial cost for a new rental is reduced by $10 for each month that passes (for example: $100 to rent at the start, $90 for a new rental beginning the following month, $80 for a new rental beginning two months later, …). To rent skates, please speak with a club volunteer or coach at practice or send us an e-mail.
9 of 11- EVENTS, SPECIAL PRACTICES
TISC may host a special events during session/ activity/ practices. This will be communicated. For 2023, we hope to host two or three weekend events, competitions on the track similar to 2022 events Roll The Stars and Roll-A-Fest.

TISC’s 2023 season is starting up soon! Here are a few brief updates, with more details to follow later:
The first skate for 2023 is set for May 1st at the 400-meter track at Ken Cox Community Centre next to Father Redmond School & Humber College at Lake Shore and Kipling when our permit kicks in.
We are looking into adding a Thursday evening skate at a track near Dundas and Mavis in Mississauga
The Annual General Meeting will be held April 30th, in-person, near Queen Street and Britannia (Streetsville) in Mississauga. We will aim to offer the option to attend virtually as well.
We are hoping to host three events this year, much like the two successful and well attended events we held in 2022 (Roll The Stars, Roll A Fest).
We are looking forward to a nice 2023 season. Stay tuned for information about location (once permits are in place), events, programming and more! Keep rolling!
A group skate will be held on October 8th at 10am on the track at East York Collegiate Institute. Come on out to enjoy a new track and a beautiful autumn morning skate with fellow skaters.
Please note this is NOT a TISC organized event and there are no permits for this group skate. Your participation in this group skate indicates you acknowledge and understand consequences, risks, and perils of skating on your own and in a group, especially in an environment in the absence of permits.
Rain, rain rain once again. That’s the story of the day. Unfortunately we will need to cancel this evening’s skating practice. And it so happens this evening would have be our final skate for 2022. We will look into booking permits for 2023 and plan another beautiful season.
There are plans for a bonus skating practice on October 8th at 10am at Danforth Collegiate in the East-end of the City. TISC is not organizing this extra practice, but we’re helping spread the word.
We will also look at a get-together/ year end party.
I will e-mail and publish the information when we’re ready to roll with these.
Rain, rain rain. And a very wet puddled-up track. That’s the story of the day. Unfortunately we will be cancelling today’s practice because of these conditions. See you all next week!
