Silver Blades Awards


We love to recognize our skaters' achievements! Several awards for year-long performance are presented at our annual End-of-Year Banquet in May, and we use a weighted point system to measure achievements, dedication to skating and commitment to the club by looking at some or all of the following:

  • Vote from our Coaches
  • Tests passed
  • Competitions attended
  • PA participation

For the Preliminary to Senior individual awards, the criteria are weighted by level is as follows:
