Featuring ... Mary and Evy Scotvold
U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame members, Evy and Mary Scotvold, have coached champion skaters to the Olympic Games for the last thirty years, including Nancy Kerrigan, Olympic Silver Medalist and United States Champion, and Paul Wylie, Olympic Silver Medalist.
Famous for the dynamic combination of technical brilliance and artistic passion, this couple has long served among the world's elite figure skating coaches. They were among the earliest faculty for the Professional Skaters Association, sharing their technical and artistic insight with several generations of coaches.
Mary is a former United States Novice Ladies Champion and pupil of the late Gustav Lussi. Evy parlayed early competitive success into a professional career with the Ice Follies. Both have coached skaters and conducted seminars all over the world. Evy and Mary have recently re-located to Jacksonville, FL, from the long-time home on Cape Cod.
We are thrilled to welcome Evy and Mary Scotvold to the Extreme Ice Center with this unique oppurtunity to learn from their expertise and hear their stories, techniques and skill exercises.
