About the University Skating Club
The University Skating Club was founded in 1922 by members of the University of Toronto. They skated on an outdoor rink in Varsity Stadium until 1932 when Varsity Arena was built.
The University Skating Club is proud to continue to offer skaters the opportunity to pursue excellence in ice dance and free skating.
