Olympic Oval Alumni
The Olympic Oval Alumni are a distinguished group of athletes who have trained at the Oval for one year or more. They include Olympic medalists, Olympians, Speed Skating Canada national team members, speed skating international athletes, and rising stars from the Olympic Oval Elite Athlete Pathway program. Together, they represent the legacy and future of excellence on the fastest ice in the world.
Olympians
From proudly representing Canada to standing atop the podium, these athletes are the embodiment of excellence, grit, and national pride. Trained at the Oval, their journeys reflect years of relentless dedication and world-class performance on the world’s biggest stage.
Canadian National Team Athletes
These long track national team athletes wear the maple leaf with pride, competing around the globe and pushing the limits of speed, strategy, and stamina. The Oval is their home base — where Canada's best sharpen their edge.
Elite Athlete Pathway
These rising stars are on the fast track to greatness. As part of our Elite Athlete Pathway, they train, race, and grow at the Oval — building the next generation of champions from the ice up.
International Athletes
International athletes call the Oval home, training here for a year or more as they chase personal bests, national pride, and Olympic dreams — no matter the flag on their suit.
