Brave Blade — What a Show!

Brave Blade was a smashing success! 800 people attended and the club raised almost $12,000. The show was a fabulous kick-off for the Fire & Ice Festival and a great showcase for both our skating talent and community spirit. We made a lot of memories that night! Once again, we wish to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make Skate Muskoka's largest fundraiser of the year the huge success that it was. 🙏🏽 

StarSkate Awards Dinner

Details to come. Stay tuned!
