Novice Synchronized Skating Team

The Iceskateers team hold many Australian records. They are the only Australia team ever to have won 9 consecutive National Championships. They are also the most successful Novice team having achieved the title of Novice Synchronized Skating Champions of Australia 11 times. In addition, since the Novice event was first held at the Australian Championships in 1990 this team has always been in the Medal placings winning either Gold or Silver medals except one Bronze medal in 1991 an outstanding achievement for a team competing in one of the largest sync division in the Australian Championships.

Iceskateers are also the longest surviving Australian Sync team having competed in every National Championship for the last 18years and they are the only Australian team to have competed in each National Championship event for their division.

The success of this team and its longevity in Australia has been phenomenal, much of which we believe is due to the wonderful “Iceskateers Team Spirit” that continues to this day – once an Iceskateer always and Iceskateer. The current and past members of this team greatly enjoy their time with the Iceskateers and contributing to and experiencing the team spirit.
