About Us

The Club was organized in the fall of 1996 as the White Bear Lake FSC. It is affiliated with the USFSA. In April 1997 the Club was made an interim probationary club with the USFSA, and full club status was granted in October 1997. The Club was granted approval to change its name to Northern Blades Figure Skating Club in 1998. In 2000 the Club changed home rinks, and was renamed North Blades National Sports Center Figure Skating Club. (NB NSC FSC)

The Club is a member of and sends a delegate to the meetings of the Twin Cities Figure Skating Association (TCFSA), an organization that coordinates activities among the USFSA clubs in the Twin Cities area. Its website is www.tcfsa.org.

The Club contracts all ice through Schwan's Super Rink at the National Sports Center. Many of our skaters learned to skate here, and many of our club coaches teach at the ISI Skating School. Schwan's Super Rink offers our club many advantages:
