Skate Martensville is proud to celebrate the conclusion of its 40th season—a year filled with incredible achievements and exciting milestones for our club. With over 110 skaters registered, we continue to thrive, providing opportunities for skaters of all ages and skill levels to develop their skills, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love for the sport.
Our STARSkaters represented Skate Martensville with pride at three competitions at both the regional and provincial levels, achieving personal bests, earning podium finishes, and showcasing their dedication to the sport. We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work, determination, and passion for skating. In addition, our 15 STARSkaters successfully passed 37 Skate Canada tests, demonstrating their commitment to personal growth and development.
This season also saw fantastic enrollment in our CanSkate program, thanks in large part to our dedicated coaches, Sam and Teah. Their enthusiasm and commitment to creating a fun, engaging, and supportive environment have been truly inspiring. Our CanSkaters collectively earned over 200 ribbons and 45 badges—an incredible testament to their progress and excitement on the ice.
We were also thrilled to expand our synchronized skating program this year, welcoming skaters onto three teams: STAR 4, Adult II, and Adult III. Each team delivered strong performances, with STAR 4 earning three medals and our Adult III team bringing home silver! Beyond competition results, it has been amazing to see the camaraderie and team spirit grow among our synchro skaters. We look forward to watching this program continue to flourish in the years ahead.
A highlight of the season was our annual ice show on Sunday, March 23, where we welcomed nearly 500 spectators to celebrate 40 incredible years of Skate Martensville! This year’s theme, 1984-1985: Back to When It All Began, took audiences on a nostalgic journey through the music, style, and memories of our very first season. More than 80 skaters lit up the ice with their energetic, 80s-inspired performances, bringing passion, excitement, and plenty of fun. From bold costumes to incredible routines, it was truly a celebration to remember!
Looking ahead, we’re excited to offer Spring Ice for the first time, giving skaters from Skate Martensville and surrounding clubs the opportunity to continue their training from April to June. The extra sessions will take place at the Martensville Recreation Centre and will accommodate dozens of local skaters who would otherwise have to drive into Saskatoon for ice time.
As we reflect on this milestone season, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our skaters, coaches, families, and supporters in the stands – your involvement is what makes Skate Martensville such a vibrant and welcoming community.
