Manitoba’s best synchronized skaters will gather in Carberry later this month for the 2016 Skate Canada Manitoba Synchronized Skating Championships. The Carberry Skating Club and the Skate Canada Manitoba Section will host the competition at the Carberry Plains Community Centre Arena on Jan. 16. 

Synchronized skating is a specialized discipline of skating involving groups of eight or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. The objective is for the team to perform as one unit, executing circles, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections in unison to the music while demonstrating quality edges, power and flow. 

For the upcoming event, it’s expected that over  150 skaters ages six to adult on 17 teams from all across province will compete in events from Beginner I and Elementary through Pre-Novice and Adult II.

The Carberry Skating Club invites everyone to attend this competition and enjoy some excellent Synchronized Skating. 

Tickets for the Skate Canada Synchronized Skating Sectionals Manitoba Competition are currently available at the Carberry Plains Community Centre Arena.
