Kipling’s Canskate group held its Achievement Day, Saturday, Feb. 17. Each of the three youngest groups, Beginners, Intermediate and Powerskaters, put on a demonstration of what they have been learning during the season.

Folllowing these skills demonstrations, they performed to three creative expression and action songs: The Cancan, The Freeze and The Macarena.

Next came a hockey-style scrimmage, featuring the powerskaters.

The Achievement Day was not necessarily the season finale for the youngsters. The demonstrations were put on due to the uncertainty of available ice time.

The Kipling Skating Club’s Ice Show which will include Junior and Senior skaters, is set for Friday, March 9. There are eight Juniors and eight seniors in the club, in addition to the 20 Canskate members who performed Saturday.

The Beginners are Haley Kish-Stevenson, Jaidyn Draper, Patrick Wilson, Blake Pusch, Samuel Toth and Dean Moore.

The Intermediate group includes Mariah Marton, Juel Sproat, Brooke Widdup, Tess Edmonds, Tabitha Vellacott, Aimee Hassler, Jessica Szakacs, Cheyenne Lesiuk and Aynslee Hassler.

Those in the Power-skaters are Si-yan Liu, John Dayman, Courtney Pusch, Tyler Olson and Samuel Vellacott.
