History of the FSCR
The
Figure Skating Club of Rockford, formerly known as the Chalet Club of Rockford,
began in the early 1960’s when Rockford’s first ice arena opened on Charles
Street. This privately owned facility closed
several years later and a small group of charter members of the Chalet Club
maintained an inactive status with the USFSA.
In 1975, when Rockford Park District opened the Riverview Ice House, the
Chalet Club changed their name to the FSCR and became an active USFSA club
again.
The FSCR has been home to many
national competitors. These have been
included:
Damon Allen – 1991
National Junior Men’s Champion & 1992 World Junior Championship Bronze
Medalist
Lisa Bell – 1994
National Junior Ladies Bronze Medalist
Sandy Lenz – 1980
National Senior Ladies Bronze Medalist & 1980 U.S. Olympic Figure Skating
