Official Iceman Series Event : Alrighty boys! The Scott Hamilton Skating Club is delivering the goods!!! For the third straight year, we are thrilled to announce our 2019 August Invitational as an official Iceman Series Event recognized by US Figure Skating! The Iceman Program focuses on highlighting YOUR hard work in the sport of figure skating. We aim to keep you reaching for the top of that National podium, the lead role in a premier show... or whatever your skating dream may be!
Male skaters will receive insights from our very own Scott Hamilton (If you've had the pleasure of being around Scott, you know this is priceless!), and valuable feedback from esteemed panel of National/International officials that have traveled across the country to be here for YOU! As if that is not enough, our 3rd annual Scott Hamilton Novice Men Development Award will be awarded.
“Novice men is where my heart is. The greatest achievement in my career came out of massive underachieving at the Novice Men’s level. We celebrate the victors and doubly celebrate those learning from defeat, being strengthened by it & understanding where they need to go!” Scott Hamilton
Our goal is to grow this event each and every year with continued emphasis on helping young male skaters achieve their goals.
