The Toronto Inline Skating Club (TISC) was founded in 1991 by Jocelyn Martin and Laurie Lafrance. The club introduced the sport of outdoor inline speed skating to Canada and is today, still one of the the largest and most competitive. Our first practices were held in the parking lot at High Park, around the Grenadier Restaurant on Sunday mornings. Regular outdoor practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays were held in an industrial complex, just south of the 401, called Max Ward Park.
Many years later, we moved our Sunday practices to Bloor and Mill Rd, where we had access to a 200m school track. During the week we would meet in the parking lot of the Hershey Center for organized track and road combined practices.
We currently practice at Christ the King Catholic School in Etobicoke, Ontario. Please see below for more information.
Inline Skating Mississauga is a subsidiary organization of TISC. It was designed to promote the sport within the nearby community of Mississauga.

activities :
At TISC, you will receive training, coaching, and tips to skate further, safer, cooperatively and faster. You will enjoy the benefits of skating in a group and learning new skills in a safe and controlled environment. You will be able to apply your newly learned skills at various inline skating events in Ontario and beyond.
You will be able to network with skaters to travel, skate and train. You will have enhanced access to the latest information about skating, training, equipment and events. TISC members have access to the club skate rental fleet.
TISC membership includes insurance and we practice at locations which are closed to traffic.
Skaters will experience pack (group) style skating. Our practices include technique (how to skate/go fast) and a fitness focus. Each practice begins with a warm-up. Skaters will be placed in ability groups at some practices. Some of the activities include drafting, matching up pushes, passing, working cooperatively in a group, sprint, starts, and race strategy.
Equipments:
Don’t worry, as long as they roll, any pair of skates will do. However, if you do wish to upgrade your equipment, TISC has rental skates that are available to club members. Ask one of the officials or coaches at practice if you wish to rent.
Skaters purchase much of their equipment through dealers or online vendors. Gavin Thulien (ZT Sports), Alex Perrie, and Paul Shoebridge are dealers in Ontario. For more vendors, you can dig some up in our [links] section.
For racing skates, you can expect to spend anywhere between $200 (used boots), $400 (entry level boots) to $1500 and up (custom boots).
You don’t need to break the bank to have skates that are worthy of the events you wish to participate in. Much like in auto-racing, it’s all about the wheels. Start with a brand new pair of wheels (hardness 84A and size 80mm and up) and they will roll and grip well on most outdoor surfaces. A more in-depth discusssion on equipment can be found
