* Designates events that provide meaningful competition for athletes with lower ability levels.

^# These are entry-level events.  Athletes entered in these events may not participate in other events.  They may, however, be listed as alternates for team competition.

 

ATTIRE

Jeans and sweatshirts are unacceptable.  Leotards and tights, jumpsuits, stretch pants, shorts, and shirts must be worn.

 

AWARDS

All Roller Hockey and Roller Skating Speed Awards will be given on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. in the Connelly Center Cinema.  Roller Skating Artistic Awards will be given on Sunday at the venue following competition.

 

EQUIPMENT

All competitors in speed and roller hockey events must wear a helmet (Anzi 90.4 Rated or Snell) at all times when on the floor.  All roller hockey goalies must wear a facemask.

 

FACILITIES

The maple wood floor of the Skate 309 is 152 feet long by 73 feet wide.  The dimensions are slightly different than CN Skate Palace (2004 Venue) so routines should be adjusted accordingly.

 

Skaters should come dressed for competition.  There are restrooms at the skating arena.

 

RENTALS

Rental skates will be available at the rink.

 

ROLLER HOCKEY TOURNAMENT TIEBREAKER

There will be a 3-minute rest followed by two, 2-minute periods.  If the score is still tied, a final result will be obtained through sudden death shots taken from a point halfway between the center spot and the goal.  A coin toss determines which team shoots first, then teams alternate.

 

TRANSPORTATION

Transportation will be provided from the hotels to the rink if needed.
