Northern Blades NSC Figure Skating Club was organized in the fall of 1996 as the White Bear Lake Figure Skating Club. In April 1997, the Club was made an interim probationary club with the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA), with full club status 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 it's home rink to the Super Rink at the National Sports Center, and was renamed Northern Blades National Sports Center Figure Skating Club (NBNSCFSC or the “Club”). The Club maintains affiliation with USFSA, and is a member of the Twin Cities Figure Skating Association (TCFSA), an organization that coordinates activities among the USFSA clubs in the Twin Cities area.
