Seventy-seven skaters representing the Ice Chalet won the 2013 ISI Winter Classic at the Goggin Ice Center in Oxford, Ohio. The championship trophy is named in honor of Robert Unger, which made the win especially meaningful for the Ice Chalet team.
Led by coach Larry LaBorde, the team competed over three long days against 51 teams from 17 states. Ice Chalet won 1458.5 points, including 130 individual or partner first-place medals and eight first-place team medals.
The synchronized teams also swept their events, with the Robert Unger Stars, Robert Unger Shooting Stars, and Robert Unger Sparklers each finishing first. The Team Compulsories Freestyle 5 group nicknamed “The Guys” also stood out by winning their flight with a performance set to Mission Impossible.
When the final results were announced, the team gathered at center ice and celebrated as the rink echoed with screams of joy and triumph.
