The Neepawa Figure Skating Club (NFSC) is now in full swing and is getting ready for the upcoming Annual Christmas Ice Show.
This season, the club features 24 StarSkaters who skate Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with coaches Cynthia Chartrand and Kim Smith. The season has started off strong with a fabulous skate from Zoie Forgue at the Manitoba Sectional Skating Championships in November in Virden with a ninth 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.
The NFSC Rising Stars group has seven skaters who participate on Fridays. This group is coached by Zoie Forgue. The club is also thrilled to have three synchro teams this year. Mini Ice Prec*Ice, the Beginner two team, consists of 10 StarSkaters, CanSkaters and Rising Star skaters. Lil’ Ice Prec*Ice, the club’s Pre-Juvenile team, consists of 10 Starskaters. The oldest team, Ice Prec*Ice, meanwhile, is made up of eight StarSkaters. These three teams are looking forward to strutting their stuff before heading into competition season. Their first competition is in Beausejour in January. These three 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 35 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. 17 from 3:45-5:45 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!
