Upon completing their competition in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, and after a much-needed break, Olympian figure skaters - including individual gold medalist Alysa Liu - will be heading to Norwood to showcase their talents at The Skating Club of Boston's Ice Chips: A World Journey on Saturday, February 28th and Sunday, March 1st.
Joining Liu in her first performance after returning to the U.S. will be Max Naumov, Spencer Howe, and Emily Chan, who all have trained at the Norwood skating club location.
"We are so excited to come home after competing in Milan and performing in front of a local crowd at Ice Chips," said Howe.
Howe and his partner, Emily Chan, are current U.S. pairs pewter medalists. At the 2026 Olympics this month, the pair finished 7th - the highest finish of the two U.S. pairs teams.
"It's appropriate that this year's theme for the show is a 'World's Journey' because this past season has truly been an amazing journey for us as we traveled around the world culminating in our Olympic experience in Italy," said Howe.
Sunny, with a high of 91 and low of 63 degrees. Sunny in the morning, partly cloudy during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
This needed to happen 5 years ago. But now the real wrangling begins as MPT will fight to get as much $$$ as they can from the state as possible”just compensation.”
I appreciate all of the work and time that the FS1 Steering Committee and Select Board have put into this process. I've also noticed a big difference in communication around this from the town on Facebook and Westwood Wire. This feels like a much different process than the first time around.
Combing the FS1 vote with the general election makes a ton of sense, and in fact, makes me wonder why not do this will ALL elections instead of holding town elections in April?
Just a reminder that you can e-mail the FS1 Committee at FS1Committee@westwoodma.gov with questions/feedback, etc.
Two different votes for the Project?
First one in October for 'site selection, budget, and funding sources' for a new FS1.
Then, a November vote for 'designing, constructing, equipping, and furnishing' of a new FS1.
Seems repetitive.
