Inaugural Colorado Avalanche Ice Girls
The NHL’s Colorado Avalanche was proud debut their inaugural team of ice girls at last night’s home game. All of the members are accomplished skaters, four have a background in Ice Hockey, and the remaining eight have a figure skating background. Based on what I’ve read on theteam site, it sounds like all twelve members will be responsible for cleaning the ice during breaks. However, the figure skaters will also do special performances on designated game nights. Those performances will be sanctioned through U.S. Figure Skating. I think that means this gig doesn’t prohibit them from participating in skate competitions as amateur athletes. Or maybe it means something entirely different. Who knows?
