The Story About Eric Frost
Eric Frost was a figure skating Grandfather and enthusiast who loved watching his grandson Kai and other skaters enjoying their sport and making progress on the ice. In 2017, he donated an amount of money to the National Ice Centre to reward the figure skaters and celebrate their day-to-day successes. The idea of the “Eric Frost” Spin, Spiral, Jump Competition came soon after the donation had been made and the first competitions took place in 2018 and 2019. The global pandemic made it challenging to organise this event over the last few years, so we are very happy to be able to host the event again in 2022 and carry out Eric Frost’s wish to support and celebrate skaters.
