Fall is here! The cooler weather has brought beautiful colours, and some falling leaves. Our skaters are busy working out on the ice and having lots of fun. Here are a few reminders for the upcoming weeks.

Test Day: Please remember that our original Test day of October 30 as a High and Low test day has been changed to Low Test day only on October 30 and High Test day on Monday, November 3. If skaters are testing and have conflicts with time, please make sure to let coaches and Test Chair, Daphne Shim, know prior to October 22 when the schedule will be posted. There will be nochanges allowed after the schedule is posted.

For skaters skating on Mondays and Thursdays, we will be posting the schedules soon and advising you of any cancellations on these days. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We have many skaters testing!!

Parking: Crosby Arena parking lot: a HOT SPOT at the best of times!!

As you may already know, parking at Crosby arena is limited at times. Patrons using the facility upstairs for fitness or clubs, skaters and visitors to Unionville all have to share the parking areas. Please do not park at the Unionville Curling Club as an alternative. For the safety of our skaters, please be very careful when driving in and around the spots. We are working on some possible solutions for our parking crunch, stay tuned!

Ice Show Measuring.…it’s going strong!

Our Ice Show Costumes director, Jane Rehbeli, is on a roll! She has successfully measured almost everyone in StarSkate. Way to go Jane! Remaining Senior and Intermediate skaters, she will be looking for you this week! Just look for her smiling face and bright pink measuring tape! More news regarding Registration for Ice Show 2015 will be coming very soon.

Theme week: Black and Orange week!

Black and Orange week is coming soon! Wear your Halloween costume (as long as it is safe to skate in it) and or black and orange. Photos will be taken of all skaters who participate in this event and posted in the lobby. Please wait one week before removing your skater’s photo so we can all enjoy seeing the skaters. This week is coming up from October 24-29. Cannot wait to see this!
