Congratulations!

Holiday Show

Invite your friends and family to this fun event full of Holiday Cheer! Skaters will be performing to all your favorite Holiday songs and then there is a special Ice Skating session with Santa!

Deadline to book ice time is gone!

We are pleased to announce two changes for the club’s ice punch selection process, effective December 1st.

  1.  The deadline to select punches will no longer be 11:59 PM the day before for any sessions.  You will now be able to select ice punches up to one minute before the time that the session begins.  For example, if your skater would like to select the 4:40 PM session on a Tuesday, they have until 3:59 PM (one minute before the session starts) to select that punch and be on that ice.  
  1. We will be discontinuing the “Coaches’ Reserves program as it will no longer be needed with the new system in place.  Thank you to all of our coaches as they were very willing to utilize this program to get our skaters on the ice when we were not able to select punches in time.  

We hope this is a positive and more convenient option for our members and coaches. 

Spotlight!

A heartfelt appreciation goes out to Sarah Schoen, a remarkable individual whose dedication and leadership have significantly impacted our figure skating club. Serving as the former Board President, Sarah has played a pivotal role in the growth of our Learn to Skate program and Club initiatives.

Her commitment, paired with a genuine kindness, has created an environment where skaters thrive and programs flourish. Sarah’s attention to detail and tireless efforts have left an indelible mark on our community. Thank you Sarah for all your hard work and commitment.

All ice must be contracted by 11:59 pm the day before the session. If you miss that deadline and want to skate, you can use a coach’s reserve to still skate.

Reminder that a skater can skate on club ice without a coach. This is a great opportunity for practice time.
