Moose Jaw’s Graeme Fish made a name for himself on the speed skating circuit this season — and now he is being recognized for his efforts.
Speed Skating Canada has named Fish as a finalist for their Athlete of the Year, Long Track (Male) award. The other finalist is Laurent Dubreuil of Lévis, Quebec.
Fish had an impressive season that included a second-place finish in the World Cup Final in the Netherlands earlier this spring. He finished third in the World Cup standings. He also won a bronze medal in the 5,000 metres at the Single Distance World Championships in Salt Lake City back in February. He followed that up a day later by taking home a gold medal in a world record-winning performance in the 10,000 metres.
The 2019-2020 Speed Skating Canada Awards recognize significant contributions and achievements by some of the sport’s most dedicated stakeholders — from athletes and coaches, to officials, volunteers, and partners.
The winners of the awards will be unveiled on the Speed Skating Canada website and via social media throughout the summer.
