Hello Members,
Due to a power outage at the
Cleveland Heights Community Center Ice Rink, this weekends'
American Cup Short Track and Ohio Invitational races are
cancelled. We are hoping to reschedule the American Cup in the
near future, but at this time we do not yet have details. There
will be no racing this weekend. We will notify everyone as soon
as possible with details on whether or not we are able to
reschedule the Short Track American Cup 1. We apologize for the
inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
Sincerely,
US Speedskating
12:30 PM Thursday - Nov. 1st |
|
|
To All,
As you may know that due to
Superstorm "Sandy" the Ohio invitational had to be cancelled due to
power loss at the Cleveland Hts. rink, we were hoping to try and
reschedule but there was not enough ice time available at Cleveland
Hts. to run the meet. As a result those who were entered to skate
in the meet will have their entry fee refunded in the next week
Ohio Speedskating Association -
Secretary

US SPEEDSKATING LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE
Dear Members,
We are pleased to announce the launch of the new US Speedskating
website. The new site would not have been possible without the
support of our two amazing sponsors, Struck and
Rain. Both of these companies have worked with us
on the design and programming of the new site for more than a year.
The site includes new navigation and improved functionality and we
hope it will become a useful tool for our members, athletes and
fans. Some of the new features include:
-
Find A Club. You can find a club in your area by
searching the map or sorting by a state.
-
Event Calendar. The upcoming events are now listed
right on the home page and each event has more detailed
information, including registration deadlines, rules and hotel
information for fans.
-
Athlete Profiles. All Category 1 athletes are included
on the site, along with fun profile facts, major accomplishments
and photos. Athletes will also now be featured on the homepage
on a rotating basis.
-
Committee Pages. There are now pages for each USS
committee, along with contact information for the committee
chair, along with the ability for committees to post documents
members can download for news and updates.
-
Member Section. The member section of the site has
been greatly improved and includes information for parents,
training and tips, rules and regulations and much more.
As with any new
website, there are always little things to work out. With more than
1000 pages, the new USS site is no different. We will continue to
update and add new information in the coming weeks. The Speedskating
season begins in the U.S. with the US Single Distance Short Track
Championships, September 27-30, 2012 in Salt Lake City at the Utah
Olympic Oval. For more information about US Speedskating and the
2012-13 season, visit the new site at
www.usspeedskating.org.

Membership renewal and
changes
To view this email as a web page
click here.
Dear Members,
The new skating season is upon us and memberships are coming
up for renewal. For those of you who purchased a full year
membership, it will expire on June 30, 2012. You are able to
start renewing your membership today. There are a few
changes that you will see when you log in to renew your
membership. The membership categories have been revised and
simplified. All the prices remain the same.
The new membership categories are as follows:
(Any first time member-competing or
not)
Adult/Older Child - $75
(Age 11 and up as of July 1, 2011)
Child - $55
(Age 10 and under as of July 1, 2011)
Certified Official,
Coach or Board Member - $30
(Certified Level 2 and above and Individual Club Board
Members - Max of 4 board members per club)
National Marathon Racing
License - $15
(Good for four (4) consecutive days)
Introductory
First-Time Two-Month Trial - $10
(Non-competing skaters new to speedskating. This membership
is not valid for racing or competitions)
There is no longer a distinction between competing and
non-competing members. You will now choose the membership
category that fits your needs. If you are a Level 2 coach
but also compete, you may purchase the certified official,
coach or board member membership.
The Certified
Official, Coach or Board member
is expanded from last year. If you are a certified Level 2
or above coach you will automatically have the option to
purchase that membership for $30. If you are not a
certified level 2 and above coach, the option will not be
available to you. The same holds true for officials. I
have enlisted the help of Hans Hoefgen to update the
official’s list but unfortunately, there are a large number
of associations and clubs who have not responded to Hans so
the list of Level 2 officials is incomplete until he hears
back from those associations and direct clubs.
Board members of individual clubs have the
opportunity to also purchase the $30 membership but I need
to know ahead of time who those board members are. I have a
partial list of board members that I was supplied last year
and will be updating the database with those names.
The one day one dollar membership is still
available for those wanting to try the sport for the first
time. The forms are available online in the document/forms
section of the website. This temporary membership is
available for a 5-time use and is not valid for competitions
or races.
The one-day racing license is a new addition to
this season. This can be used for non-championship events
such as local club events. The cost is $10 per day and can
be used an unlimited amount of times. The application form
is located on our website under the document/forms section.
Full details are located on the form.
The Speedskater Nation Fan club is not a
USS membership; it is a fan club for fans of the sport. All
members actively participating in the sport should purchase
one of the appropriate membership categories.
To renew your membership, please use the online link at
https://webpoint.usspeedskating.org/wp15/Intralock/Login.asp?targetPath=/wp/Memberships/Join.asp
to do so.
If you have forgotten your user name and password
there is an area to obtain that information on this page.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to
contact me.

Long-time speedskaters mourn the
passing on July 15 of ANDREW F. CORCORAN, age 85. He was a past
President of CYO and Ohio Speedskating Associations. He served in the
U.S. Navy during WWII and was Director of Security at NASA Lewis Center,
providing service for the pioneering Centaur lift-off and first Apollo
Moon launch at Cape Canaveral. He and Joanne, his wife of 58 years,
raised 8 children and enjoyed their 16 grandchildren.
