Ice Classics Highlights

About Us

Proud to Serve the Hancock County and Surrounding Areas

Findlay Silver Blades Figure Skating Club is a non-profit organization, dedicated to bringing quality figure skating to the Findlay-Hancock County region. Findlay Silver Blades Figure Skating Club began in 1974 when the Hancock Recreation Center was built to house events that promoted skating and other recreational activities. Since that day, the Findlay Silver Blades Figure Skating Club has continued to grow due to the support of the community and the excitement generated by the club. We are the only Figure Skating Club in Northwest Ohio that has an annual Ice Skating Show, "Ice Classics".


The Findlay Silver Blades Figure Skating Club is proud to be a member of ISI, USFS and USFS Learn to Skate. Findlay Silver Blades Figure Skating currently has around 70 members, ranging between the ages of 4 and 18. Our devoted instructors teach our students figure skating, from the basic to the more advanced levels, and many of our skaters choose to enter various competitions throughout the year.

The Findlay Silver Blades Figure Skating Club is proud to have a talented and giving group of professionals dedicated to the continued growth of our fine organization and the sport of figure skating. We celebrate our 46th year with pride, and a conviction for a wonderful and inspiring future!

Many of our skaters further develop their  skills at the collegiate level and return as coaches to spark the love of skating in the club’s next generation of skaters

A Tradition of Team Spirit

Findlay Silver Blades has been an integral part of this community for over four decades, providing Hancock County and surrounding areas with a top-notch figure skating program. Figure skating teaches children of all ages balance, coordination, determination, and teamwork and provides an athletic program for kids of all skill levels. 

It also provides a uniqueness in that students can progress at their own individual pace, while still being an integral part of a team sport. 

Annual Ice Classics

In addition to exciting performances by all our club skaters, Findlay Silver Blades takes pride in having showcased the appearance of fabulous, world-renowned guest skaters like Olympians Jeremy Abbott, Gracie Gold, and Nathan Chen, as well as hometown stars such as Matthew Blackmer, Ethan Alday and Isabella Alexis. The Ice Classics is the only annual ice show in Northwest Ohio and regularly attracts more than 3,000 people from Findlay and the surrounding areas.

How Often Should You Sharpen Your Skates?

Did you know skate blades that are dull prevent skaters from successfully learning/completing moves/footwork and increase their chances of falling? Figure skates need to be sharpened either after 20-30 hours of ice use or every other month - whichever comes first.


One available local option for skate sharpening is Larry's Skate Sharpening. Larry Grove is a proud supporter of Findlay Silver Blades, is conveniently located near The Cube, offers COVID friendly skate pick-up and drop-off, charges reasonable rates, and provides impeccable sharpening results. If you would like to contact Larry for a sharpening, his business information can be found on our SPONSORS page.
