DISTRICT UPDATES ISI DISTRICT 3

(CONNECTICUT, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK) by Tiesha DiMaggio, District Director

The District 3 Fall Seminar has been moved back one week to Sept 17. It will be held from 8:30 am. to 1:30 p.m. at Danbury Ice Arena.

The last competition to be held in our district was the Tournament of Roses on July 9 at RoseGarden Ice Arena in Norwich, Conn. Five teams competed

in the event, and it was a great way to finish off Sailfest weekend in Southeast, Conn., a three-day festival complete with Tall ships, fireworks, entertainment and more.

Danbury Ice Arena participated in ISI World Recreational Team Championships July 17-22 at The RINKS – Anaheim ICE and Lakewood ICE. Out of 73 teams, they placed 36th, with 87.5 points.

The State Games of America took place in Grand Rapids, Michigan in August.

Skaters enjoyed summer skate camp hosted by Southgate Figure Skating Club.

We can’t thank all the districts enough for their support in sending skaters and coaches to the State Games of America in Grand Rapids, Mich. It has been our pleasure as a district to work with everyone on this amazing opportunity for our ISI skaters.

The summer season was busy here in District 6. We wrapped up all our fantastic ice shows, prepared new programs, hosted tryouts for fall and had a great skate camp hosted by the Southgate Figure Skating Club. We look forward to a new season and all the new exciting things coming from ISI.
