The 2012 Festival of STARS Northern Ontario STARSkate Championships are taking place this weekend in Sault Ste Marie ON.  

We are broadcasting the event live online.  To watch, click here to launch SCNO TV.

Technical difficulties may prevent us from showing all skaters.  We apologize in advance for those we miss. 

Wintek Productions is on-site, and high-quality DVDs and action photographs are available for sale for all skaters.  The DVD video is much higher quality than what we are able to show online.  Make sure to stop by their booth and pick up a souvenir of your performance that you can keep forever.

SCNO is currently seeking applications from individuals who are interested in becoming a Level 1 Technical Official.

Technical officials work as a team at competitions to identify the elements performed and their difficulty level according to set criteria.  The Level 1 Technical Official is a new position which will allow fully trained candidates to serve as an assitant technical specialist or as a technical controller for events in which elements are called no higher than level 1 .  For more information, please download the Level 1 Technical Official Description.

Ideal candidates will be former skaters over 18 years of age who are not currently coaching or officiating and are seeking a way to reconnect with the sport.  Familiarity with the Cumulative Points Calculation System and a basic ability to identify elements are assets.  Regardless of whether or not you fit the profile of an ideal candidate, all interested individuals are invited to apply by filling out the application.

Pending sufficient interest, training is likely to begin in March or April; however, specifics will be determined at a later date.
