For the third year in a row, the King Speed Skating Club played host to the Ontario Speed Skating Association Central Ontario Meet at the Trisan Centre on Saturday.
Close to 100 speed skaters took to the ice to compete at the day-long event, representing clubs from all across southern Ontario.
“It was our third year hosting the event, and everything went very well,” said club president Rose Kimber. “We had a lot of volunteers come out whose help made everything run very smoothly.”
Thirteen-year-old Noah Stapleton finished first in the “Bravo” division, beating out 15 other competitors age 11-13. He was happy with his outcome and the event overall.
“The ice was really good,” he said. “I skated well.”
Seven members of the King club competed in the event.

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.
