Skate Canada Manitoba – Lisa Hynes, Event Co-Chairperson is pleased to announce the Morden Figure Skating Club and the Skate Canada Manitoba Section are hosting the 2017 Skate Canada Manitoba Synchronized Skating Championships at the Morden Access Event Centre Arena on January 21, 2017.
 
Shauna Marling, Executive Director Skate Canada Manitoba thanked the Morden Figure Skating Club and its volunteers for hosting this exciting and fun event.  Marling explained that synchronized skating is a specialized discipline of skating involving groups of eight or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. The objective is for the team to perform as one unit by executing circles, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections in unison to the music while demonstrating quality edges, power and flow. Marling added Synchronized Skating is very exciting and fun to watch.
 
Over two hundred skaters ages 6 to adult on 18 teams, from all across Manitoba will compete in events from Beginner I and Elementary through Pre-Novice and Adult II.
 
The Morden Figure Skating Club invites everyone to attend this competition and enjoy some excellent Synchronized Skating.
