Hi Skaters!

Everyone's back to school and fall activities are just beginning!

We've made some changes to our ice times this year. Our Canskate session (learn-to-skate) has been moved to Monday evening and our StarSkaters will now be skating three times per week. Specific dates and times will be listed on the registration forms. (When the forms are ready, I'll post them!)

There are some exciting things coming to the local skating world. The 2014 Canadian Tire National Figure Skating Championships will be held this year in Ottawa from January 9th-14th. Tickets will go on sale on October 4th 2013. With the Olympics right around the corner, competitors will be at their peak performance so the competition will be close!

See you on Saturday at the rink at 9am!

show*

The ice show has wrapped up another season of figure skating in Westport! How time flies!! We received many compliments on the show this year and we were fortunate to be able to incorporate so much dance into our routines.

There are many people that put in long (but enjoyable!) hours in order to pull the show together. Thank you to the club President Allison Scheuermann. When she's not skating, she's working hard to get everything and everyone organized. Additional thank yous go out to all the members of the executive committee! 

Thank you to all our local business sponsors: Westport Telephone Communications, Kudrinkos Country Grocer, and the Westport Legion. Your donations help us purchase ice time for all our skaters including the CanSkaters, STARSkaters, and
PowerSkaters. We couldn't do it without you! 

Last but certainly not least, thank you to our coaches Marilyn Crawford, Stacy Blair, and Rob Ainsworth. They worked very hard to choreograph routines, prepare music, and even participate in the show!

Congratulations to Gabriella Gates! She is the Westport CanSkater of the year for 2012/2013. This award recognizes a skater who demonstrates talent and passion for the sport  of figure skating.

Congratulations to Abby Christy and Brooke Breese! They are the CanSkate Champions for the 2012/2013 season. This award is presented to skaters who demonstrate the qualities that embody the "Spirit of a Champion" -  commitment, perseverance, dedication, passion, triumph and talent.

The Ice Show was recorded by Tony Hicks, "The Camera Guy". If you would like to purchase a copy of the show, he can be contacted be email at tony.hicks@cogeco.ca or by phone at 613-345-8739

Enjoy the warmer seasons and see you next year!!

Westport Skater Achieves Gold

Jamie Lynn & Rob Ainsworth

Jamie Lynn of the Westport Area Skating Club successfully completed her gold level dances at the January 18th test day held in Athens.

Lynn first began skating with the club in 1995 at the age of six and started the test stream dances in 1997 passing her Dutch Waltz under the coaching of Carey Varga. Jamie's passion for dance continued and by 2006 she had completed her first Gold dance under the watchful eye of her coach Susan MacLellan. After a brief hiatus to complete her Bachelor of Engineering degree at the University of Ottawa, Jamie returned to the club in the winter of January 2012 to continue working on her gold dances. This January marks the completion of her Gold level dances as she and her current dance partner Rob Ainsworth impressed the judge and skating audience with the entertaining and flamboyant Silver Samba dance.

Other Westport skaters accomplishing gold level status include her sister, Hilary Blair in 2011 - gold skills and her sister-in-law Stacy Blair ( Murray ) in 2001 - gold dances and gold skills as well as Amanda Hewitt and Miranda Edmunds in 2007 - gold dances and skills.

Lynn and her dance partner, Rob Ainsworth, will be showcasing a gold dance at our upcoming ice show in March. Watch the Review-Mirror for details.

Thank you friends and families for joining us for our very first Harvest Dinner! We were able to raise funds and goods for many great organizations, including LifeWater Canada, the Westport Food Bank, the Childrens Christian Choir, and of course, the Westport Area Skating Club. 

We couldn't have done it without the special talents and hours of hard work that were generously donated by Chef Francois Scheuermann. When you see him around Westport (or at the rink!), give him an extra thank you on our behalf!

Another special thank you goes out to Neil Kudrinko for providing all of the roast beef that we needed for the evening. We couldn't have been successful without his donation. Next time you're getting groceries at Kudrinko's, let him know how much we appreciate it!

Cheers!
