About Us
The Hickory Hill Figure Skating Club began in the early 70's in Northern Westchester at the Harvey School rink. An active club from the start, it had a successful synchronized team, developed a strong emphasis on ice dancing as well as freestyle skating and produced many events, including "Broadway on Ice" and the yearly Skate Hickory Competition.
In the 80's, the club grew in membership and gained ice time, which fostered the development of gold medalists, national competitors and judges. All Hickory Hill gold medalists are inscribed in our "Hickory Hill Gold Medalists Hall of Fame".
The Hickory Hill is USFSA member club. The USFSA is the governing body of figure skating in the US. The club conducts tests, competition, and other club events. The volunteer efforts of club members are the "staff" of skating clubs.
