Sioux Lookout Skating Club shines at Thunder Bay Open Skating Competition

The Sioux Lookout Skating Club (SLSC) members recently showcased their talent and dedication at the Thunder Bay Open Skating Competition, held from February 28 to March 2. The event, which saw participation from skaters across various skill levels, highlighted the commitment and hard work of our local athletes. 
Throughout the competition, SLSC skaters participated in a range of events, from STAR 1 Elements to Adult Freeskate, displaying impressive skill and sportsmanship. Despite the fierce competition, our skaters supported one another, creating an encouraging atmosphere and positively representing both Sioux Lookout and the club. 
We are so proud of our skaters for their determination and enthusiasm. They truly exemplify the spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship. It’s clear that they’ve been putting in tremendous effort all season. 
This success would not have been possible without the tireless dedication of the club’s coaches and parents. The hours of practice, guidance, and support provided by these individuals have been instrumental in ensuring the skaters’ success. The Sioux Lookout Skating Club extends its heartfelt thanks to them for their unwavering commitment to the development of our athletes. 
Looking ahead, the SLSC is excited to invite the community to their annual Ice Show, “Operation: Ice Show - A Spy & Action Themed Year-End Show,” taking place on Sunday, April 6 at 2:00 P.M. This event promises to be an exciting spectacle featuring thrilling performances from our skaters, all set to a spy and action-packed theme. 
Admission is by donation, and attendees can enjoy the food bar, flower sales, and the chance to win big during the annual 50/50 draw held during intermission. Tickets for the 50/50 draw can be purchased from any SLSC skater or at Fresh Market Foods in the weeks leading up to the event. This year’s grand prize is up to a thrilling $10,000. 
“We encourage everyone to come out and show their support for our talented skaters. It’s sure to be a fantastic event for the entire family.” 
The Sioux Lookout Skating Club is proud of all its skaters and looks forward to continuing to foster a positive and supportive environment for the next generation of skating stars.
