Shellbrook hosts Region 12 skating competition

For the first time in 21 years, the Shellbrook Skating Club hosted the Region 12 Invitational competition January 14 and 15.

More than 90 skaters took part in the two day event which featured both competitive and non-competitive events.

According to club president, Leeta Harms the outpouring of support from the community was simply outstanding.

“The community definitely stepped up and made this a success,” said Harms.

She noted that local businesses were extremely generous with their sponsorship while volunteers from the club executive, the  community and the  Prince Albert Skating Club helped make the event run smoothly.

“We had a great group working toward this to make it happen,” said Harms.

Saturday featured skaters from StarSkate programs competing before Skate Canada judges for a spot on the podium.

Three Shellbrook Skating Club skaters competed Saturday to combine for 15 medals.

Hailey Harms won six gold medals while Alanna Forbes won one gold and three silver and Emilia Gillies won three gold and two silver.

Sunday was a fun festival to give Star and Can skaters a taste of what competition is like with all skaters receiving a gold medal.

The Fun Festival drew 22 Shellbrook skaters to show off their elements individually and in teams for their various divisions.

Four Shellbrook girls, EmmaLynn LaMotte, Mya Cyr, Kacy Campbell, and Erika Stene, participated in the spin spiral jump event.

Meanwhile  three teams were formed for the team event.

“SILVER ANGELS’”- Ashlyn Schmitz and Brooke Cadrain. Stage 3
