History of WSSC

The Winnipeg Speed Skating Club is the oldest speed skating club in Manitoba. It was offically formed in 1919 and kept the name untill 1929, when it was changed to the Wesley Speed Skating Club. Today, the club is going through another rebirth with younger skaters joining WSSC and some older skaters really pushing to make the provincial team time standards.
