2011- 2012 Practice Schedule
We practice on Sundays (4:30pm-8:00pm) beginning September 11, 2011 through March 15, 2012 at The Addison Ice Arena of Addison, 475 South Grace St. Addison, IL 60101.
Outdoor skating on Lake Ellyn:
Ice is open at Lake Ellyn, if you want to try some rare outdoor skating. The cold weather and lack of snow has allowed for some ideal outdoor ice making conditions. There are lights for night skating. A good winter school break activity. The boathouse is located at 645 Lenox Rd., Glen Ellyn, 60137. The lake played host to the State Outdoor Championships since 1937, and was a practice site for the club up to around 1990 until the ice season became too short to rely on for solid training.Note:
Enjoy the break, include skating in places such as the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee where there are open public sessions and open speedskate sessions throughout the week.
