Canada finished the three-day World Cup with six medals, including gold in women's team pursuit.
The global COVID-19 pandemic shrunk the speedskating season to a pair of World Cup events in Heerenveen the last two weeks, with the Feb. 11-14 world championship to be held in the same venue.
Canada's speedskaters faced the added challenge of no ice to skate on at Calgary's Olympic Oval because of a mechanical failure in September.
They had two weeks of indoor training in Fort St. John, B.C., in November and otherwise skated outdoors in Red Deer, Alta., or did short-track training in Calgary.
