On Sunday, we celebrated our amazing Coach Dave and his retirement from his position as operations manager at Spartan Arena! Not to worry, he will still be coaching speedskating!  Tom Haley, sports writer for the Rutland Herald, did a wonderful tribute article to Dave and his years at the rink. It is in today’s print version, and here’s the link to the digital version: 

RUTLAND TOWN — Dave Manfredi, Operations Manager of Spartan Arena, was trying to come to grips with his last day on the job on Friday.

Well, we sure didn’t “stay out” 😆

Masters Speedskating camp in Lake Placid was fun, challenging, and HOT, with camaraderie and silliness too. Green Mountain was well represented this year, with Coach David Manfredi, Carvel Bevans, and Chip K and me! What a great way to spend three beautiful summer days!

More photos and video to come.

Green Mountain made the Rutland Herald sports section! The photo was an old one, not from MIST, but we appreciate the publicity! Thank you to Tom Haley for always supporting us.

DRUMMONDVILLE, Quebec — Poultney’s Danica Stein made a big splash at the Masters International Short Track (MIST) event in speedskating over the weekend, she skated to a sixth place ranking

Eleven countries, 139 skaters…three days of international-level competition is so draining, we’re just getting to the post-meet update now 😆 MIST 2025 in Drummondville was a whirlwind of skating, friendship, inclusion and unwavering support for one another. What fun to reconnect with our friends from other clubs (more photos to come)!

Coach Dave finished #2 in his age group, snagging four amazing silver medals and representing the USA and Green Mountain on the podium! The Green Mountain banner was even flying in the arena! Danica had some good races and while there were no medals for her, she accomplished several personal goals and finished strong. What an incredibly successful meet for our little club!

Danica and Coach Dave are in Drummondville, QC skating alongside athletes from 11 countries in the MIST Games (Masters International Short Track). We have completed Day One of racing, and so far Green Mountain has snagged a silver medal in the 1000m! Here is Dave on the podium (with the gold medalist from Great Britain), and his super-cool MIST fierce beaver medal! Go, Green Mountain!

What a great weekend of long track at Lake Placid! The ice was amazing!

Yesterday’s practice was one of those “digging deep” days 😆 but we had the pleasure of skating with our friend Elise from Wolverine Sports Club!
