Welcome to BLACK ICE. I have been a fan of figure skating for many years and I decided to create this site and dedicate it to the love of the sport. It is designed to celebrate and spotlight the artistry, talent, power and strength of minority figure skating, minority coaches and those that help support the sport.
Black Ice is looking to spotlight minority skaters, coaches, choreographers and judges. All that are interested are welcome to submit their story and photos. Join in - it's time to help by giving encouragement to ourself and to others. Share how and why you got involved in this wonderful sport. To learn more please click here. To view this month's spotlight skater - Shabren Russ just click on her name.
