Current Provincial Rankings

Using the results from the 1st and 2nd Ontario Cup, I've formed a ranking list to see where we stand on the Provincial circuit.

For Provincials athletes, I've decided to go based on a best 2 out of 3 system, after 3rd Cup I will update the list and make changes to anyone who earns a score above one of their previous totals.

The National ranking is based on the 2 best preliminary totals and 1 best final. It will also be updated following 3rd Ontario Cup and Provincials.

Classes Cancelled

Hi everyone!

I have decided to cancell all classes for this evening due to the weather. It is getting heavier by the hour here in Burlington and the plows don't seem to be keeping up. The gym parking lot has also not been done yet so getting in and out of there would be a whole new issue.

Enjoy your evening off. I will see everyone on Sunday!
