The Calgary Oval hosted their traditional October event this weekend. Congratulations to Jordan Malone on his sweep of all the distances (and with it the overall title)! Mike Kooreman also finished in the top 5. A Czech skater usually seen on the World Cup circuit nearly swept the women's races. For the ladies, Maria Garcia and Kira Fling both finished in the top 5 overall. Congrats to all the skaters on their performances!
