The Bicentennial Trophy
Recipient: The Makowsky Family

Awarding this trophy to the Makowsky Family fills our club with mixed emotions🥲

The Bicentennial Trophy is awarded to long standing club volunteers who have contributed above and beyond the call of duty. The Makowsky Family have been prominent, dedicated, and selfless volunteers with our club for more than a decade. From when their kids were tiny in the Learn to Skate program, up to now when their kids are graduating and venturing out into the world.

Rob has been the backbone of the club’s volunteers - organizing countless mat moves, installing dots and lines into the ice surfaces, being an official starter at official meets and club practices, plus being an active board member - including a term as President.

Kenzie has always played an integral role in the club as a Group Manager, handling key roles in our clubs meets, and sharing our club’s activities and highlights through our social media.

This family will truly be missed! We are thankful we can honour them with this award!

With an unwavering commitment to fairness, inclusion, and camaraderie, the recipient of this award reminds us all that the spirit of competition is not just about winning, but about inspiring others and sharing the joy of the sport.

There is something special about snow at an outdoor meet.

The snow lso makes the photography tougher as is messes with the autofocus. But, the results are quite cool.

This is where the timing magic happens.

Catching up on photos from the John Sands meet back in January. It takes a small village to run a meet, including those dedicated to timing.

The struggle is real.

There's something dramatic about the epic battle between skate guards and younger skaters.
