A new award will be added to Crystalline this year: The Haley Rose
Gans Award
Haley Rose Gans began her skating career at Snoopy's Ice Arena.
Translating ideas into movement on the ice was Haley's love. She
made us laugh with her rendition of Mary Poppins, Charlie Chaplin
and the Wind Up Doll from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Haley's goal was
to include something different, creative and original in every
program. She loved to watch the expressions of the judges and
audience as she performed-- She loved to see their jaws drop or make
them laugh. Haley passed away in November after a tragic
accident at the age of 14.
The Entertainer--a perpetual
trophy in memory of Haley Rose Gans--will be given annually at
Crystalline Classic to the most entertaining skating program in
Preliminary Light in hopes of encouraging young skaters to develop
and celebrate their own originality, creativity and the true spirit
of entertainment.
