💙 With Deep Gratitude | Kootenay Regionals – Creston

Hosting Kootenay Regionals on our home ice was an incredible honour — and it would not have been possible without the dedication of so many.

Thank you to the volunteers whose countless hours of service brought this event to life. The work behind the scenes is immense, and it showed in every detail.

To the Judges, the Kootenay Regional Board, Data Specialists, and our Master Music Co-ordinator — your professionalism, precision, and countless unseen hours uphold the integrity and flow of our sport.

To the parents, skaters, and coaches of the Kootenays — thank you for your passion, sportsmanship, and the energy you bring to every competition.

Events of this caliber take a village, and WE CRESTON are most grateful to be part of such a strong and supportive skating community. 💙⛸️

P.S. Thank you for choosing Creston’s Poster Board as the winner! We are thrilled and so grateful for the gift of one free hour of ice!

✨ Kootenay Regionals | Day 3 | Championship Sunday ✨
We opened the final day strong with Star 2/3 Solo Dance, where Zoe, Sadie, and Liam each performed two dances — the Canasta Tango and Baby Blues. 💃⛸️

Dance is judged on edges, flow, timing, and posture, and these three rose beautifully to the occasion.
🥉 Sadie and Zoe earned Bronze overall, showing growth, strength, and commitment.
🥇 Liam captured another Gold, skating big, confident, and technically sharp.

💫 Jeinessa – Star 4 FreeSkate (Skating Up!)
Taking on a new level is no small challenge — but Jeinessa absolutely belonged among this strong group of Kootenay ladies. Skating to “Be My Baby,” she delivered a courageous, determined performance that showed resilience and progress.

🌟 We finished the entire competition with our “littles” debuting their Star 2 FreeSkate Solos — and what a way to close out Regionals.

💃 Lexi grooved to “Better When I’m Dancing” with huge, flowing footwork.
🕊️ Zoe skated to “Fly, Fly, Fly” with the most expression I’ve ever seen from her.
🎭 Kenya performed to “Phantom of the Opera,” showing just how hard she can push when she commits.
❄️ Sadie delivered a brilliant skate to “Once Upon a December,” earning a personal best score and improving from EKI.

And beyond the medals and performances — I am so incredibly proud of the sportsmanship of CVSC. Watching our athletes cheer each other on, celebrate one another’s successes, and support their teammates from the boards is what makes this club so special. 💙

That energy, that unity — that’s what we’re building.

✨ Kootenay Regionals | Feb 14 | Day 2 ✨
Best Valentine’s Day ever. 💘⛸️
Day 2 on home ice was filled with heart, breakthtoughs and extreme courage!

🔥 Cassidy – Star 5 FreeSkate Finale
Her best warm-up of the season set the tone for a strong final performance. Focused, prepared, and composed. Great skate, Cass. 💪✨

💃 Tammy – Adult Silver FreeSkate
Skating to her first-ever Tango, Tammy leveled up in a big way—landing her first Loop and first Flip in competition! A milestone performance earning 3rd place. Strong, bold, and building momentum. 🥉

🏆 Alina – Adult Silver FreeSkate
Skating to “Vienna,” Alina’s program choice allowed her true passion to shine through. She commanded the ice with flawless jumps and confident presence, returning to the top of the podium with 1st place. 🥇

🌟 Jayda – Star 1 (First Competition!)
Her very first competition and she skated with pure joy, earning Silver and loving every minute. So proud! 🥈💕

💃 Hana – Star 4/5 Solo Dance (Debut)
Hana stepped confidently into her first Solo Dance event, setting high goals and delivering once again. Testing season ahead! 👀✨

🤍 We wrapped the day cheering on our very own Jeinessa in the Kootenay Team Synchro demo — such a special club moment.

🎤 And finally… we closed out the night with MJ — our team’s Michael Jackson performance. High energy, full commitment, lights outperformance🕺✨

Day 2 was filled with courage, celebration, and connection. A Valentine’s Day on the ice we won’t forget. 💘
