24.01.2022 We are greatly saddened by the news of 2018 Winter Olympian Ekaterina ‘Katia’ Alexandrovskaya's passing in Moscow last night. Katia with partner Harley Windsor ...made history as Australia's first World Champions, claiming the Pairs Skating World Championship in 2017 and were also the first Australians to win an ISU event, before making their Olympic debut at PyeongChang 2018. Katia will be remembered as a gifted skater who was determined to be the best she could be and a young person of enormous potential. Our thoughts are with her family, Harley, friends, teammates and the figure skating community. RIP Katia

07.01.2022 MEDIA RELEASE -- 3 September 2020 Progress on ice sports centre a boon for community The ACT Ice Sports Federation (ACTISF) today welcomed the government's anno...uncement of the substantial progress made on plans for a new twin-sheet ice sports centre to be based in Tuggeranong. "Our faith in the process the ACT government established from the outset has never wavered," president Tony Prescott said today. "In the current circumstances, it speaks volumes that both the investors' and government's confidence in our proposal for a new twin-sheet ice sports centre has continued to attract significant support. "New infrastructure for the nation's capital, be it health, education, public transport or sports facilities, is always welcome, both for the short-term benefit associated with construction jobs, as well as longer-term community participation opportunities and the economic windfalls derived from major events which will feed into the local hotel, hospitality, restaurant and tourism sectors. "We have always been confident our proposal, which has a strong community-based orientation complemented by a business plan which includes tourism, major events, corporate functions and international competitions, would survive the pressures associated with competing infrastructure priorities. "What we didn't plan on -- and of course no one else did either -- was COVID-19. "However the ACT Government and the proponent behind the development recognise the benefits on offer to a community during challenging economic times with a major piece of infrastructure: construction jobs. Later, there will be further employment prospects when the facility is fully operational, and expanded family ice sports programs covering figure skating, ice dancing, ice hockey, broomball, curling, sled-hockey, ice speed skating and of course, general recreational ice skating. "This is a much-needed investment in community sport as well as an important investment in the Tuggeranong community, and an investment in Canberra to create more jobs, and support for the economy through COVID. "We have always attracted bipartisan political support; patrons Vicki Dunne MLA joining Bec Cody MLA have been strong supporters of a new facility," Prescott added. The preferred site in Tuggeranong is an excellent choice already boasting existing facilities such as a hotel/motel, restaurants, bars, cafes, community club, public transport and bus interchange, major roads and most importantly, a growing concentration of families and local residents in the Tuggeranong Valley. "We echo the government's vision that this project, once completed, will meet the needs of our growing ice sports community, create jobs and economic activity, and provide the community with a great place to cheer on the ice sports across so many disciplines," Prescott said. "Importantly, the proponent behind the new twin sheet ice sports facility Cruachan Investments has a vision which matches all of our hopes and aspirations. "Cruachan is innovative in its approach, forward thinking with its commitment to the community, and most importantly, here for the long haul, and that's a key element for any new sports venture," he added.

06.01.2022 Peter Lynch, President, Ice Skating Australia said: we are deeply saddened to hear of Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya's passing. A brilliant athlete with incredible ...drive and determination that was nurtured by our friends at the Russian Skating Federation, but then found a new home here in Australia forming an incredible pair skating partnership with Australian Harley Windsor. Together they did what many thought impossible, becoming Junior World and Junior Grand Prix Champions before moving onto the Olympic Winter Games. The partnership was developed with visionary Australian coaches Andre and Galina Pachin. Together they created greatness that will rest in the Australian record books for many years. Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences go out to her’s and Harley’s familys. The worldwide sport of figure skating mourns your loss. See more
