About Us
Sungod Skating Club is a premier ice skating club based in North Delta that trains and supports ice skaters from all over Surrey, Richmond, Delta, Vancouver, and Langley. From our home rinks, the Sungod Recreation Centre and the North Delta Recreation Centre, our experienced coaches strive to help our skaters reach their full ice skating potential.
Sungod Skating Club is a proud member of Skate Canada.
Where we started
North Delta is not known for its crisp, cold, winter afternoons, ice sports, or outdoor skating rinks - so how did Sungod Skating Club come into being? Thanks to a group of invested ice skaters, the club grew from a grassroots initiative to a respected skating club.
Skating Club Timeline
1971
Plans for an ice skating arena in North Delta are in the works and a small group of people begin to dream up a skating club. A $35 donation from Parks and Rec starts the Skating Club bank account.
Pre-registration is held for anyone interested in skating in Delta. The first official skating club meeting is full - each family in attendance pays $1 to help the club on its way.
The Sungod Skating Club is officially registered as a society and is sanctioned through the Canadian Figure Skating Association.
