The rink is quaint, but has only one ice surface. They had to replace the roof a few years ago, so the club is still paying that off. And top notch coaches go elsewhere, like Simsbury Connecticut.
> while i am asking skating questions, what ever became of tara lapinski? She turned pro, so she left competitive circles relatively early. She was in an ad (I'm sure you saw it) that aired during the Games. She still skates professionally. And, Michelle now joins another American skater who should/could have wond gold and didn't. The other "greatest American skater that never won a gold medal" is Janet Lynn. In fact, if you ask many skaters who their favorite skater or idol is, they'll say Janet Lynn. Truly a great talent. Her skating was almost mystical. lots of love Anne
