Year-End Celebrations for SCNY

The skating year came to a close last week with a fantastic exhibition at Sky Rink, followed by a delicious bbq on the Sunset Terrace overlooking the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty!

SCNY had a lot to celebrate this year, including some fantastic finishes from club skaters in regional, sectional, national and international competitions, high-level tests passed, and seniors graduating. Over 120 club members came to Chelsea Piers to join in the fun.

The celebration began with the annual Will Sears Exhibition, featuring the club's International, National and Junior National skaters as well as group numbers from the various rinks affiliated with the club, including Sky Rink, Sport-O-Rama, The Rinx, Wollman and Figure Skating in Harlem.

Afterward, skaters and their families made their way to the terrace, where the club honored its graduating high school seniors and the skaters who passed a gold medal test.

Proud gold medalists gather for a group shot.


The graduating seniors smile for the camera!


SCNY member and Olympic Gold Medalist Sarah Hughes came to join in the festivities, posing with club skaters (and possibly future Olympians themselves)!


And now it's time to start thinking about next year! Club registration for the 2012-2013 season is now open (register online), and club officials are meeting in the coming weeks to start plans for the 87th annual Middle Atlantic Figure Skating Championships. Stay tuned and happy summer!
