Last fall, we were contacted by the Detroit Skating Club. We were somewhat ashamed that we didn’t realize such an illustrious group was here in the fine state of Michigan, and we sure are glad they reached out to us.
You see, the Detroit Skating Club in Bloomfield Hills is the training home to some of the most elite figure skaters in the world. We’re talking Olympians, National and World Champions – names like Todd Eldredge, Tara Lipinski and Alissa Czisny.
Jerod Swallow, Managing Director of the club let us know that each January they send the skaters off into the world to compete in a series of events, culminating in the World Championships. As a part of their send-off, they like to give them a little something to remind them of Detroit Skating Club. Of Michigan.
Naturally, he thought of Stormy Kromer.
We thought these fine folks deserved something a little special, so we put together some special edition caps in the Club’s colors.
The skaters just returned from their travels and finally had a few moments for a photo shoot in their caps. Turns out the club members fared quite well at the World Championships: French couple Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat received a bronze medal in ice dance, Canadians Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje placed fourth in ice dance, Italian Valentina Marchei placed eighth in the women’s event, and American Jeremy Abbott placed eighth in the men’s event.
Congratulations and hats off to a job well done everybody!
