CLUB ACTIVITIES An annual competition, the Boston Open, is held each fall. In the spring, the club puts on an ice show known as Ice Chips, which is said to have had the longest continuous run of any club skating carnival in the world. The club organizes Synchronized Skating teams under the name Team Boston and the Ice Theatre teams Act I Of Boston and Imagica Theatre On Ice , which both won international competitions in that discipline in 2005 and 2006. Like some of the other older skating clubs in North America, the Skating Club of Boston retains elements of a " Country Club " approach, with an emphasis on social activities, including weekly dinners and awards banquets. Prospective members must be sponsored by two existing members, attend social events, be approved by the club board, and pay an initiation fee. NOTABLE MEMBERS A partial list of notable skaters who have trained at or represented the Skating Club of Boston include:
Current coaches at the club include Mark Mitchell and Peter Johansson , recipients of the 2006 USOC Developmental Coach of the Year award. EXTERNAL LINKS |
