By Chris Newel
The Northstar Skating Club presented Show Case 2016 to over 400 spectators on Feb. 20 at the Kimberley Civic Centre.
The year-end show featured all the skaters from preschool right up to seniors. Group and solo performances delighted the audience which showcased what they are learned over the season.
Molly Miller who has skated most of her life is now going to devote her time and energy to cross country skiing so this was her last performance with the club.
Several skaters were recognized for their efforts over the season. CanSkater of the year, Quinn Munro, Junior skater of the year, Sailor Ferrier, Senior Skater of the year, Emily Newel, Program assistant of the year, Hannah Doerksen.
Lynal Doerksen was recognized for his four years as club president. The club would like to acknowledge the coaches, Kim Wright, Megan Newel and Tamara Bannantyne for their dedication and the mentoring they provided the skaters all year.
Show organizer Krista Moody said, “The show grows every year and this year was no exception. The skaters have a lot of fun and always have a surprise for the crowd. This year the skaters were illuminated by wire lights and performed in the dark. Very cool!”
The club would like to thank Geneve Miller of the Cranbrook Skating Club who performed as the guest skater. The club would also like to thank our sponsors; Mark Creek Lions and R.W. Anderson & Co.
For a second year in a row Happy Hans has made a guess appearance to the delight of many.
