Saskatchewan’s best young figure skaters in Melfort
The qualifiers for the 2023 Saskatchewan Winter Games are being held in Melfort this weekend. And that means roughly a hundred young skaters from around the province are skating their best at Northern Lights Palace.
“It’s a really good opportunity for our skaters and Melfort to kind of see other skaters,” said Beth Berg with Skate Melfort. “It gives the younger skaters and the skaters that are wanting to move up in their skill level the chance to see, what they could be participating in themselves too in the coming years.”
Qualifying skaters from this tournament move on to the Saskatchewan Winter Games in February in Regina. And for some, there is the possibility of national competition.
“Pre-novice and novice have an opportunity to move on to the Skate Canada Challenge event that is being held in Regina on January 25, to the 28th,” said Danielle Shaw with Skate Saskatchewan. “The novice from there have an opportunity to qualify for the Skate Canada Cup, which is in Calgary at the end of February.”
