Introduction
Founded in Juarez,
Mexico in October of 1995 by former Ice Capades skater and now skate
director and coach, Lori Briggs, the Sun City Blades are now getting
the recognition and respect they deserve. The Sun City Blades Figure
Skating Club is recognized by the world organization, Ice
Skating Institute.
The
Club began as an effort to promote figure skating as a sport in
the El Paso / Juarez / Las Cruces area. In 1996, the Club moved
to El Paso, Texas after Lori Briggs was contacted by the El Paso
Buzzards Hockey organization to operate their skating program.
In
2003, the El Paso Buzzards Hockey team went belly up but the Sun
City Blades continued to blossom. Today the Club shares the ice
with the El Paso Rhinos Hockey Club and enjoys the largest membership
in its history.
The Sun City Blades Figure Skating Club is open to people of all
ages interested in ice skating. The Club is a non-profit organization.
The Club offers two types of memberships. The Competitive Membership
