Editor’s Note: As we celebrate our 60th Anniversary this year,


we are reminded of the hard work put forth by a group of dedicated industry professionals, who desired to grow the sport of ice skating at the recreational level and to establish a resource for the development, construction and operation of ice rinks.

operators, builders and suppliers, programmers, instructors, and both amateur and professional skaters. Operating independently, it would be run by facility representatives themselves, not by or through the traditional organizations catering to elite skaters and objectives that were contrary to the new (at the time) recreational skating philosophy.


The article above, from the February 1980 ISI Newsletter, highlights the organizing and conference


committee responsible for planning ISI’s first annual conference in 1960, held in Chicago. Also, our 58 charter members are listed as well.


In subsequent issues of ISI EDGE, we will explore and share more of our remarkable history. If you have anything you’d like to contribute about the early years of ISI, we’d love to hear from you! Please email Eileen Viglione at editor@skateisi.org or call 972-735-8800.
