The Neepawa Figure Skating Club is now in full swing and members are getting ready for the upcoming annual Christmas Ice Show. This season we have 20 StarSkaters who skate Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays with coaches Cynthia Chartrand and Kim Smith. Our season has started off strong with a fabulous skate from Zoie Forgue at the Manitoba Sectional Skating Championships in November in Morden with a fifth place finish. The rest of the StarSkaters are hoping that the ice show will help them get the “jitters” out before their first competition of the season, in Virden at the beginning of January.
Our Rising Stars group has 14 skaters who skate Fridays. This group is coached by Cynthia Chartrand, Kim Smith and assisted by Zoie Forgue.
Our club is thrilled to have four synchro teams this year. From what we hear, this is the most synchro teams any rural town has this year. Mini Ice Prec*Ice, our Beginner One team, consists of 10 CanSkaters and Rising Star skaters. Lil’ Ice Prec*Ice, our Beginner Two team, consists of 10 Rising Star and Starskaters. Our older two teams, both going by the name of Ice Prec*Ice, are made up of StarSkaters. These two groups also have skaters from Minnedosa and Carberry who have teamed up with our club. These four teams are looking forward to strutting their stuff before heading into competition season. Their first competition is in Morden in January. These four teams are coached by Cynthia Chartrand.
If none of that entices you to join us for our Ice Show, you need to come out to see our 34 CanSkaters, helped out by many of our StarSkaters and coached by Kim Smith. These tiny skaters are sure to put everyone into the Christmas spirit!
The Annual Christmas Ice Show will be on Sunday, Dec. 18, from 4:45 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. at the Yellowhead Centre. Admission is a silver collection as well as an unwrapped toy or food to be donated to the Salvation Army’s Christmas hampers. Please come out and join us for some great skating!
