ISI Year in Review!
• NEW NATIONAL EVENTS AND LOCATIONS
In planning for our national events this year, we decided to try some new things. In April, we added a team-only competition, “Chicago Showdown,” during our annual ISI Synchronized Championships.
“Te fantastic part about this event was that synchro skaters got an opportunity to have even more fun with their teammates, siblings, parents and, in some cases, skaters from other rinks who came along for the trip to cheer their synchro teams on,” said ISI Skating Programs & National Events Director Kim Hansen. “Some local rinks brought in their show numbers, too, which was great. With over 150 participants, the new event was a success, and we plan to repeat it again at the 2019 ISI Synchronized Championships at Doug Woog Arena in So. St Paul, Minn. It will be called the MinneShowdown.”
2018 also brought “Theatrical Challenge,” an inaugural ISI national event focused on show skating. Hosted by the historic Ice Chalet in Knoxville, Tenn., the competition gave skaters the unique opportunity to perform under full spotlights.
ISI national events took us to new places this year, too, in an effort to expose these wonderful competitions to new skaters and to give our returning competitors a chance to explore new destinations. We not only traveled to Knoxville, Tenn., for the first time, but we also headed to South Lake Tahoe, Calif., in October. Next year, we will be traveling to the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo, Calif., for the first time and Norwich, Conn., where participants will have the opportunity to enjoy the fall foliage in New England!
“Moving into 2019, we look forward to continuing to enhance membership benefits,” said Mangelsdorf. “We are continuing to grow our products, services and programs for our dedicated members, and we have some exciting new programs and resources in the works. We
are
confident that 2019 is going to be an even more amazing year than 2018!”
We welcome your suggestions and feedback. Please reach out to us at the ISI office at 972-735-8800.
As ISI President Rob McBride stated in the spring 2017 issue of ISI EDGE magazine, “ISI exists because of you! Your success and the success of your arena programs are the sole purpose of our existence.”
