Welcome to baby Zoey!

Coach Tiffany and her family welcome sweet baby Zoey Quinn McNeil on February 13th. Zoey and family have been through so much since that happy day. Fast forward to open heart surgery at Primary Children's Hospital and weeks of uncertainty. Zoey is their miracle baby and is home now. While she still has appointments with the cardiologist, speech/feeding specialist, physical therapist, neurologist and more, she is doing very well. Tiffany and family are grateful to our amazing skating family for all the support, prayers and well wishes.


Thank you to Yura Min for an awesome spring clinic!

Our athletes enjoyed a great clinic with Olympian, Yura Min. Off the ice they shimmied and got their Latin dance on with dance instructor, Alexa Shippy. Thank you to our Board for subsidizing this clinic for our members.

Our beloved CLUB YEARBOOKS are returning this year, and it's time to submit your photos!

Similar to a school yearbook, the FSCPC yearbook is a keepsake that skaters often look back on and cherish for many years after each season.  Whether your skater was just getting started and hasn't competed yet, or they did 15 competitions, please search your photos of skating-related pics from this past year and send them in!  The yearbook turns out best when we have photos (hopefully many photos) of EVERY skater in the club.

What we're looking for:

  • Photos of the 2022-23 season (July 2022-June 2023)
  • Up to 10 photos per skater
  • Group photos are best, but 1-3 individual photos are great as well
  • Pics on the ice, off the ice, hanging out at competitions, with coaches, on the podium, test sessions, shows, in the lobby, etc.
  • Try to send high-resolution photos (photos directly from your phone are fine). Screenshots or downloads from social media don't print well.
  • If you can name the photo with identifying info, that is very helpful. i.e. "Oktoberfest_2022", "hanging_out_in_Sun_Valley_2022", etc. 
  • Upload here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BWCkG-n4C3OITBUxsZlG_8of7TCIXPWt?usp=share_link

Yearbooks will available for purchase this year at approximately $15 (final cost will depend on the number of books pre-ordered) and be handed out at the Annual Banquet in June.  

Please don't wait to start uploading your photos!  We'd love to have most photos by APRIL 16th, but to capture our April & May events, the FINAL DEADLINE FOR PHOTO SUBMISSION IS MAY 15th - NO EXCEPTIONS.   

Please contact Emily Boyd with questions.  

Save the date June 5th or 6th for our Annual Spring Awards Banquet

Location and final date TBD but mark your calendars! This is one of our favorite events of the year! We love celebrating away from the rink with our amazing athletes, coaches and their families! We will also be voting on 3 open board positions.
