Performance Team Revived at Christmas Brook Figure Skating Club

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff

The Blitz regularly performs at women's college hockey games at MCLA And Williams College.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Last year, the Christmas Brook Figure Skating Club's Blitz spent the winter sharpening its skills and supporting women's hockey in North County.
 
This year, they've decided to help some men, as well.
 
The Blitz, an 11-member company of skaters aged 7 through 16, have been invited to perform during intermission of a Springfield Thunderbirds minor league men's hockey game at the Mass Mutual Center.
 
The Dec. 30 performance will come during a season that again will include shows at women's college hockey games at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams and Williams College.
 
The club's production team was a staple of the Bay State Figure Skating Show at the annual Bay State Games and the local club's own year-end show but took a hiatus after the COVID-19 pandemic, Michela Juras said.
 
"Coach Nikki [Benson] and I brought it back with a twist: hockey games," Juras said.
 
"I skated on a team when I was younger, and we practiced weekly. I just wanted to provide more opportunities to build their confidence. It helps build leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, you name it."
