Saturday, January 24 | 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM
The Tenley E. Albright Performance Center
at The Skating Club of Boston
Join The Skating Club of Boston on Saturday, January 24 from 4:30 to 6:30 PM for the family friendly Winter Spirit Games, a high energy celebration of fun, community, and optional on and off ice activities as we count down to the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan. All proceeds from this event will support the Always Champions campaign, providing scholarships that honor those we lost on January 29, 2025 and inspire the next generation of champions. If you have any questions about the event after reading the below information, please email club.info@scboston.org for assistance.
What to Expect
In the spirit of the Olympic Games, participants of all ages and skating levels will be placed into teams to compete in fun, modified versions of winter sports — including bobsled, figure skating, hockey, skiing, curling, and more! We’ll also kick off the day with an opening ceremony where each team can show off their creativity and Olympic spirit.
Not Competing? No Problem!
If you’d prefer to stay off the ice, there’s still plenty to enjoy. Our off-ice activities include:
- Crafts stations
- A winter-themed scavenger hunt
- Trivia and games
- Meet-and-greets with past Olympians
