No injuries were reported and all programs, classes and activities are cancelled until further noticed. Existing Tucker Road Ice Rink passes are being accepted at Wells Ice Rink in College Park.

ISI COMPETITIONS & EVENTS CRITICAL FOR RETENTION & GROWTH
ISI competitions and events, whether in-house or inter-rink, are great vehicles to keep skaters in your program longer and help grow your overall numbers.
In preparation for these events, skaters will want to practice
more and take classes and private lessons. Also, once skaters reach a certain level, they may no longer desire to participate in classes but still wish to perform and compete. Our events provide them this option and also create an additional revenue source for your facility. ISI competitions and events create excitement in your facility and instill a sense of camaraderie among skaters, coaches and parents. Tey allow individuals the chance to compete in solo events, while also participating as part of a team — an opportunity not offered through other skating organizations. Perhaps, however, the greatest reason these events help
retain skaters for life is that they are FUN! Te number-one reason participants quit a given activity is because it is no longer fun. ISI offers a variety of unique events where skaters can shine, gain confidence and feel a sense of achievement, while also having a blast! What’s more, our national competitions are open to all skaters
across the country and the world! To learn more, please contact Kim Hansen at
Khansen@skateisi.org or 972-735-8800.
