Membership in the Northern Ice Skating Club includes your membership in U.S. Figure Skating. You must be a member of U.S. Figure Skating before you can test, compete or exhibit in any sanctioned event.
The membership year runs from July 1 through June 30, as per U.S. Figure Skating rules.
During the months of June and July, we process memberships once or twice weekly. After that, it drops to once every 10 to 15 business days.

Special Note for Coaches
A coach/choreographer must be a member in good standing and fulfill a number of other requirements before taking a skater to a test session or competition. It is the coach’s responsibility to take care of these items.
Northern Ice offers a preferred membership fee for coaches who have 5 or more skaters renewing/joining Northern Ice by the time the new membership year begins. The skaters must name you as the Primary Coach when they renew/join. If they do this by June 20, then you will be awarded the preferred rate. If we already have your membership payment, we will promptly refund it. This is a hard deadline. Please communicate with your skaters.
Permission Letters
You may print your own permission letters for competitions and test sessions that are conducted outside of our Club. To do this is very simple:
- Log into your EntryEeze membership account.
- At the top of your Personal Information you will see a button labeled “Get a permission form.”
- Click that button and download the PDF.

Learning to Skate and Coaches
Figure skating is a sport one can participate in individually or as a member of a team, recreationally or competitively, throughout one’s life. It is fun, creative and challenging. It involves the development, practice and execution of skills that one progressively learns and builds on over time.
U.S. Figure Skating has a wonderful video for parents to learn more about the basic skill programs offered at Rocket Ice Arena, Canlan Sports – Romeoville, All Seasons Ice Rinks, Fox Valley Ice Arena.
