The Olympic Oval in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is a covered speed skating oval built for the 1988 Winter Olympics. It is now home for the Oval X-Treme female ice hockey team of the National Women's Hockey League and the official designated training center for Speed Skate Canada and the Canadian National Speed Skating team. It is located on the University of Calgary campus. Thanks to two propane Zamboni ice resurfacers, the high altitude, and the advanced climate control, the oval is known as "The fastest ice in the world". On September 16, 2007, the Olympic Oval kicked off its 20th year of public service with a large public skate time, and other activities.
