All volunteers are given instructions and training in their area of responsibility.

Ice Monitors

Do you want to be up close to the action? Do you want to get your feet wet learning about figure skating competitions (actually the water is frozen, so that’s a figure of speech)? Ice Monitors are responsible for:

  • Ensuring that all skaters are present before a group starts and letting the announcer know (via walkie talkie) if someone is missing.
  • Opening and closing the door to get the skaters on and off the ice.
  • Making sure all skaters getting onto the ice have checked in at registration (credentials check)
  • Keeping track of competition time vs. actual time and letting coaches and athletes know about delays.
  • We need at least one monitor for each entry point at all times. Two is better!
  • There is a minimum age requirement for this position.

Music and Announcing

MUSIC OPERATOR

Are you a detail-oriented person who likes to watch skating? Give Music a shot!

  • The music player will be able to navigate and operate the Media Monkey media player on a laptop during competition and practice ice. 
  • May need to announce simultaneously with playing the music.
  • Will need to sit in an ice rink during their shift.
  • Music players may not play music during their skater’s competition event.
  • This position has a minimum age requirement.

ANNOUNCER
Do you like to watch figure skating? Have you ever secretly wanted to do voice overs or be on the radio? Did you ever put a karaoke machine or Mr. Microphone on a wish-list? Announcing might just be a perfect fit.

  • The announcer is responsible for announcing during a competition event or during practice ice sessions.
  • During competition the announcer works closely with the Referee of the event and the ice monitors (to get name pronunciations and scratches). 
  • May need to play music simultaneously with announcing.
  • Will need to sit in an ice rink during their shift. Announcers should become familiar with the Name Pronunciation App. It is a web-based application that is easily accessible from any smart phone or mobile device.
  • Announcers may not announce during their skater’s competition event.
  • This position has a minimum age requirement.
