This year the Aussie Skate pilot program was extended to include 4 Synchronized Skating Divisions. Therefore we started a 4th Aussie Skate team in June 2009. The name chosen for this team was Ice Sparkles and their first performance, to the music from Willy Wonka, was in our Exhibition Skate just a short time later on 26th July 2009.

At their first competition in September 2009 they skated extremely well placing second to our Icicles team. From 2010 Icicles will be moving up to Division 2 and Ice Sparkles will be our only Division 1 team.

We will then have three higher level Aussie Skate teams for Ice Sparkles to move up to, to continue their development towards joining the Iceskateers.
