Interclub Competition Update

On January 16, 17 and 18th Espanola Skating Club members attended the annual Rainbow Region Interclub competition at the Tom Davies Community Centre in Lively ON.


Over the past few years Sport Canada and Skate Canada have put more emphasis on skill development and less on competition and so many events this year were purely for evaluation of a skaters skills and not for placing.

The following skaters took place in evaluation events:

Josee Lefebvre, Adrian Carney, Gabriella Melcher, Lauren Langlois, Maggie Sanders, Amelia Noble, Cassidy Galliott, and Abigail Kuula.

Christen Ramsay finished 2nd , Chloe Mokohonuk finished 4th, Alexandra Langlois finished 3rd, Grace Selinger finished 5th, Andrea Mitroff finished 1st and Jenna Bourcier finished 2nd in different flight of the Star 4 event.

In a new event offered this year, Chloe Mokohonuk finished 1st, Abigail Kuula finished 2nd and Maggie Sanders finished 3rd in different flights of the Creative event where skaters have the opportunity to hear their music a total of 3 times then are placed in the change room behind closed doors until it is their time to perform at which time they use their creativity and interpret the music selected for them.

Skaters are now preparing for the annual ESC Carnival "Beauty In The World" scheduled for Feb 22 at the Espanola Refgional Recreation Complex as well as the Make It A Date competition in North Bay Feb 27-19 and Island Skate CompetitionMar 26-28.
