A celebration of local skating talent at the Icon Arena
The Winkler Skating Club is set to host its annual Ice Show on Saturday, March 1st, at 2:00 PM at the Icon Arena (Meridian Exhibition Centre). This highly anticipated event is the grand finale of the season, where young skaters of all ages take to the ice to showcase their hard-earned skills in a dazzling performance.
A spectacle of color and talent
This year’s theme, “Kaleidoscope of Colors,” promises a visually stunning experience. Each group of skaters has been assigned a color, with choreography, costumes, and music carefully selected to match.
“Colors are awesome, and it’s just fun to be bright, colorful, and cheery,” says Charmaine Enns, Vice-President of the Winkler Skating Club. “We’ve chosen songs that match each color, and some of them will be crowd favorites that parents and grandparents will recognize.”
Skaters of all ages take the ice
The Ice Show is an opportunity for skaters of all skill levels to shine. From four-year-old beginners to experienced skaters in their 20s, every participant has worked hard throughout the season to develop their skating abilities.
“At the beginning of the year, a lot of these skaters have never even touched the ice,” says Enns. “By the end, they’re all moving forward, and some are even skating backward. It’s amazing to see the progress they’ve made.”
The show also highlights the STAR program, where older, more advanced skaters mentor and assist younger skaters. “It’s incredible to see how these experienced skaters, some of whom started as young beginners, now help teach and inspire the next generation,” Enns adds.
A must-See community event
The Winkler Skating Club encourages the community to come out and support these young athletes. The event is not only a celebration of skill but also serves as a fundraiser for the club, helping to support next season’s programs.
“We want to fill the house this year,” Enns says enthusiastically. “This is a chance for our skaters to show off everything they’ve learned, and it means so much to have the community there to cheer them on.”

Admission is by silver collection donation at the door. Attendees can also participate in a silent auction, featuring prizes generously donated by local businesses. Items up for grabs include a ZÜCA skating bag, a box of candy, and much more.
