BRIGHTON BANK “SKATING IS A BLAST” FREE SKATE CLINIC This year the Cottonwood Heights Recreation Skating Arena hosted over 340 participants in the 14th Annual Brighton Bank “SKATING IS A BLAST” Free Skate clinic. The event included open skating, a 20-minute skating class for all ages and abilities taught by their Professional Ice Skating Staff members, as well as the CHRC Learn-to-Skate staff. The participants were also treated to two separate 20-minute skating exhibitions performed by mem- bers of the Cottonwood Heights Figure Skating Club. Door prizes were provided by Brighton Bank and were given out during the event along with “swag” from the Learn-to-Skate USA program and chocolate-chip cookies provided by Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center. With Christmas and New Year’s Eve both falling on Saturdays this past holiday season, the event was scheduled for a two hour period on Saturday, January 7th, 2017. Although attendance numbers were down at bit this year, the event was a much more positive experience for those who did participate; class sizes were smaller, open skating was less congested and the surface and condition of the ice was much smoother. The skating staff and center received numerous compliments and mentioned recognizing many repeat attendees from previous skate clinics. This event has become an annual event for many in the communi- ty. It continues to have a positive impact on the sport, which results in all the beginning level winter Learn-to-Skate classes being full and each year stimulates more interest in both the figure skating & hockey disciplines.
