Lace Up Your Skates Year-Round at the Skating Club of Wilmington
JulieAnne Cross,inWilmDE.com – Humans, and even animals, have been enjoying the sensation of chilly air blowing their hair back and ice whooshing under their feet for over 4,000 years. Once simply a method of transportation for ancient Fins, ice skating became a “modern” diversion upon invention of the steel blade by the 14th century, and eventually, manufactured ice. It’s been practiced by rich and poor, in cold climates far and wide, from the Netherlands to Song Dynasty China. One could call it a sport of kings, practiced by King James II in the 17th century exile and later Queen Victoria (who got to know Albert through ice skating meetups), as well as Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, French King Louis XVI, Madame de Pompadour, Napoleon I, Napoleon III and the House of Stuart.

Congratulations U.S. Medalists Carol Fox & Richard Dalley
Congratulations to seven-time U.S. medalists Carol Fox and Richard Dalley who have been elected to the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame which will take place in Detroit in January 2019. They trained at and represented the Skating Club of Wilmington. The ice dance team of Fox and Dalley earned medals in nine of their 10 U.S. Championships, including five silver and two bronze at the senior level (1978-84). The five-time World Team members also earned medals in all but one of their international and professional events. After finishing fifth at the 1984 Olympics, Fox and Dalley were featured performers of the Ice Capades from 1984-89. Dalley has served U.S. Figure Skating and the U.S. Olympic Committee in multiple roles and is an ISU judge and national technical specialist. Fox served on the Adult Skating Committee and has been coaching since 1990. Congratulations from the SC of Wilmington!
