Say,am I the only On Ice Skater chat member that skates in Newington? Just wondering if I'm alone.

Did you attend the skating show last night, the fundraiser in memory of the adult skater David Drake? The Protopopovs were scheduled to perform. And they're giving a clinic today.

I live about two hours away. I wanted to attend but was ill yesterday. If you went, please give us a report!

Also, who are the male ice dance coaches in Newington? Does Mathew Gates coach there?

Thanks!
Pat

No,I wanted to go,but didn't get the chance. But you sound you also might be able to help me with letting me know when shows/competitions come up at Newington Arena.I don't remember the male names. But my coaches name for Learn to Skate was a girl named Caitlin. I am not sure how she spells her last name. But it begins with a P.

Yes, Mathew Gates teaches there. Worth the pretty penny for lessons- got me through my senior moves.

I'm next door in Cromwell.

-Ice Dance. Last I knew of he was there, yet he moves around frequently, and may be gone again?!

A friend from Lake Placid told me about the show. Another friend from LP skated in it. I never knew David Drake, but I know he loved to skate in Lake Placid.

I'll be glad to post if I hear about any other shows in Newington.

Pat

Thanks. And Congrats on the Senior Moves!

I want to find a male dance coach, and I know I'll have to travel at least two hours to find one.
