The Moose Jaw Skating Club (MJSC), in conjunction with the Skate Canada Saskatchewan, successfully hosted the Annual Winter Classic at Pla-Mor Palace during the last weekend of February.
Over 300 skaters and their family members from across the province traveled to Moose Jaw this past weekend for the annual figure skating event.
Preparations for the event started in the fall and ended with a flurry of activity and final touches just hours before the first competitor stepped on the ice on Friday morning (Feb. 28). The board members and parent volunteers were instrumental in producing a well-run event.
MJSC had 27 participants registered for the events during the competition, keeping our coaches busy all weekend.
As a club and as parents, we are proud of our children for putting their skills on display for the competition. The children should give themselves a pat on the back for the personal bests that they achieved, maybe the very first time that they have ever competed, for the ribbons and medals that were awarded to them and quite likely, a new provincial record high score achieved for an Artistic Event by one of our skaters.
Congratulations to all of our Moose Jaw Skating Club competitors.
