Comox Valley skaters put on a good showing at the Lynne Hetherington Memorial Competition, their first competition of the new year, with several skaters achieving personal best performances at the Nanaimo event.
The CPC scoring system and the Super Series points tracking give the skaters a much clearer picture of their personal progress and where they stand in comparison to all other skaters in the province at any given time.
With Sport Canada’s mandate for the implementation of the Long Term Athlete Development program in all sports, Figure Skating in BC is undergoing major changes. Some of the most noticeable changes include the phasing out of the memorial and localized events – such as the Lynne Hetherington Memorial and the Barbara Rasmussen Memorial competitions – and putting in place the Pond to Podium Super Series in which all events in the province are connected, and the provincial champions in each category determined by accumulated points rather than by the result of one event.
Next event for local skaters is right here on their home ice. “Come join us as the Comox Valley Skating Club hosts the 36th and final Barbara Rasmussen Memorial Competition March 9-11,” a CVSC spokesperson said.
