Jericho’s CiCi Fader will join Olympians and National Champions on the ice this September for a world-class ice show at the new Twin Rinks Ice Center in East Meadow.
Ice Dreams, an Olympic Ice Show starring 2014 Olympic Bronze Medalist Jason Brown and aspiring local skaters, is coming to Twin Rinks on Sep. 20.
Fader, 10, will be skating to celebrate the opening of the figure skating facility.
“Twin Rinks is proud to host this figure skating event which will feature some of the best figure skaters in the world,” said Ronald Friedman, owner of Twin Rinks. “We welcome everyone to come visit our state of the art facility, located in Nassau County’s Eisenhower Park, to watch these athletes up close in what is sure to be an enjoyable evening.”
Ice Dreams will feature some of the top figure skating talent in the US and Canada including National Champions John Coughlin and Caydee Denney, 2014 Olympic and World alternate and Long Island Native Samantha Cesario, 2014 Olympic Silver Medalist Dylan Moscovitch and international competitor Liubov Ilyushechkina, US National Silver Medalists Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierim, two-time Canadian National Medalists Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier and The Skyliners.
The show also offers more than 100 young skaters from Nassau County and the surrounding area the chance to skate on the same ice as their Olympic heroes.
“I am looking forward to performing in Ice Dreams with fellow Olympians and National Champions,” said Brown, the Olympic Bronze Medalist. “I hope this show will inspire a young generation of skaters to achieve their dreams.”
“Ice Dreams is a once in a lifetime opportunity that brings together Olympic, World and National skaters with young skaters from our community,” said Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano. “This wonderful event promises to be an entertaining, inspiring and memorable event for our young skaters and our community.”
