💙 What an incredible way to wrap up our
20th Anniversary Season at
River Blades Skating School!

Thank you to all of our amazing skaters, families, and coaches for making this milestone year so special. Your hard work, dedication, positivity, and support are what make River Blades such an incredible skating family.

A very special thank you goes to our arena managers who have supported River Blades Skating School from the very beginning
Sliv McGree,
Jeff Elliott,
Cory Onken, and
Michael Klimek.
We truly could not have done this without your encouragement and partnership over the past 20 years. Your support has helped make it possible for thousands of skaters to build self-esteem, confidence, lifelong memories, and a true sense of community.

This season was filled with unforgettable moments, new friendships, lots of laughter, and memories that will stay with me for many years to come. Watching our skaters grow in confidence, encourage one another, and achieve their goals has been the greatest reward.

A heartfelt thank you to the St. Louis Park Figure Skating Club for hosting such a fun, welcoming, and well-run competition. It was the perfect way to celebrate another successful season together.

Congratulations to every skater who stepped onto the ice this weekend. We are so proud of all you’ve accomplished this season and can’t wait to see what next season brings!

Thank you for making our 20th anniversary season one I will never forget. ⛸️
