SEASON RECAP
The Queen’s Figure Skating team had yet another successful season, training tirelessly and consistently demonstrating a positive team spirit both on and off the ice. The 2017-18 roster was a balanced mix of veteran and rookie skaters, and the Gaels quickly adapted to new partnerships, new programs and new schedules. Queen’s set the stage early on, collecting a bronze and a gold medal at first Fall Invitational, hosted by Carleton University. In the winter months, the Tricolour stayed active in the Kingston community by performing the synchronized program at the Carr-Harris Cup hockey game and showcasing select performances at FebFest in Springer Marker Square. Nevertheless, a clear focus remained on the upcoming competition at Ryerson University, where QVFS came home with four medals, including two golds. Concluding the season, the team travelled to Aylmer Ontario for the OUA Championships hosted by Western University. Gaels skaters displayed some of their best performances and managed to score five medals. Additionally, for the synchronized team event, Queen’s managed to improve their performance from the previous competition.
