Which rinks do you think are the best in the country for competitive skaters?
Just wondering. I know Caroline skates at East West, Kimmie obviously skates at UDel, but what do you think, from personal experience or from reading articles or something are the best rinks to train at? In terms of available freestyle sessions, off ice programs, coaches and quality of the rink?
I'm asking because my father put the idea in my head of after graduating next, taking a year off and pursuing figure skating seriously(not like.. Olympic seriously.. but only focus on skating, because I've been sick with lyme disease for the past 2 years and my whole skating life, and it's frustrating) and I might take him up on that offer. So I'm just looking around for information but it's hard to tell unless you go there. I figured maybe you guys might have some information for me?
