Lifetime LAFSC member, Michelle Kwan, will be inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame Class
of 2012, at the 2012 Prudential U.S. Figure Skating
Championships, January 22-29, 2012 in San Jose, California.
As noted on the US Figure Skating website: “From
1995-2005, Michelle won an unprecedented 43 championships, which include five World titles, and eight
consecutive and nine overall U.S. titles. She is a twotime Olympic medalist, winning silver in 1998 and
bronze in 2002. In the nearly 100-year history of U.S.
Figure Skating, no American man or woman has won
more World titles, U.S. titles or Olympic medals. Michelle received 57 perfect
6.0 marks in major competitions, the most of any skater in history. She was
awarded at least one 6.0 at her last five U.S. Championships, a record that will
endure as the 6.0 system is no longer used. At the 1998 U.S. Championships,
Kwan earned a record 15 perfect 6.0 marks out of a possible 18.”
We here at the Los Angeles Figure Skating wish to extend our congratulations to
Michelle and her family on her extraordinary achievements both on and off the
ice. Michelle has been, and will continue to be, an exemplary role model for skaters and other young people around the globe for generations to come. Congratulations to Michelle and her family!
In addition, to Michelle’s induction to the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame, the
stage is set in San Jose for the 2012 US National Figure Skating Championships.
The Los Angeles Figure Skating Club is proud to acknowledge it’s 2012 National

TESSA HONG WINS SILVER MEDAL
AT HER FIRST JUNIOR NATIONALS!
Notes from Tessa’s mother, Miyung Hong:
Tessa's first Junior Nationals experience was truly amazing. All those from the Lansing Skating Club that participated in organizing the Junior Nationals really worked
hard and showed us warm East Lansing hospitality. [From the moment we arrived]
until we left, we were met each morning with bright smiles and a warm welcome.
The weather was very chilly and we couldn't do without a scarf and jacket once outside. On the second day of our stay, it snowed all throughout the day. Although we
needed to head to the rink early in the morning,
Tessa and her sister Skyla had a magical moment
playing in the snow.
Tessa looked so sharp wearing her LAFSC
jacket and pant at all her practice ice times.
What a great idea to add the embroidered
logo on the pant. She really stood out from
the others and Tessa was so happy and
proud to be representing LAFSC.
Thank you, Miyung, for sharing your photos
and memories with the club! More on Junior
Nationals on page 14.

LAFSC Young People
Doing Amazing Things!
NIKKI HUENERGARDT
Q: What are you majoring in at USC? How did you choose your major?
A: I am majoring in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Design. I chose this mostly because I have a passion for art, and have been interested in art since I was a toddler. My grandma used to give me a pad of paper and a pen at the dinner [table]
to pacify me. She always kept it in her purse. I also chose it because of my shoe
company and wanted to expand on my knowledge in art.
Q: Tell me about USC Skate Girls. Was this your idea?
What made you decide to do this?
A: The USC Ice Girls is the cheer squad for the USC Ice Hockey team. You do not
necessarily need to be a former or current competitive skater. We hockey skate
and we perform on our figure skates. I contacted the General Manager of the
hockey team my first semester at USC because I wanted to help develop a team
that would be known as the “Ice Girls”. I also wanted to keep myself busy. Our
first year was the 2010 - 2011 season, and we had 5 girls on the squad. This year
we have expanded to 16!
(Continued on page 12)
HAYLEY SOO HOO
Q: What are you majoring in at William and Mary College?
A: I am a Marketing major and Music minor. I got interested
in Marketing when I took an after-school class in high school
about branding and entrepreneurship. I realized that Marketing was a great combination of strategy, competition and
creativity, and I really liked that blend. I took a couple of
Music and Music History classes [in my] freshman year of college, and joined the Wind Symphony,
and decided to pursue the minor in Music for fun.
Q: Tell me about your music. You are a flautist. How
long have you been playing? Do you play other instruments? Tell me about the programs you are a part of at
college.
A: I have been taking flute lessons since 7th grade. I
played in the band 5th through 8th grade, but didn’t
have time in high school because of skating and my
home school schedule. My parents and flute teacher
encouraged me to try out for the Wind Symphony
upon coming to William and Mary, and I made it in.

Dennis Wickline:
Adult Skater and Mad Scientist!
Most skaters know Dennis Wickline for his fun and
passionate skating programs, including his performance
to “Good Morning Baltimore” from Hairspray. But
most would never guess that when Dennis is not on
the ice, he works as a Chemist and Quality Control
Manager at California Baby, a manufacturer of natural
and organic baby products!
Dennis recently represented his company at a P.S. Arts fundraiser to help
raise funds for children’s art education. Dennis used his expertise to create
interesting and fun experiments like “Ooblek” and “Elephant Toothpaste” (look it up!) to both entertain the audience, and show how much fun you can have with
science.
“I LOVE doing this kind of stuff because it gets kids excited about science and chemistry. It
shows them that it can be fun, and that chemistry is truly around us everywhere we go, “ says
Dennis.
Kudos to LAFSC Member,
Meaghan Baitel
It’s always nice to hear nice things about our members, and
we recently received high praise from US Figure Skating
Midwest VP, Kathy Slack for LAFSC member, Meaghan Baitel.
Meaghan volunteered as a monitor at the Skate America
event in Ontario, California in October, but went above and beyond her duties
to help out with a last minute birthday surprise for a couple of competitors.
She was asked if she knew of a local bakery so that a cake could be ordered.
But Meaghan not only found a bakery, she picked up the
cake and delivered it to the hotel where the competitors
were staying!
We’re proud of you, Meaghan!!!!

NIKKI HUENERGARDT CONT’D
Q: You have your own company - NixShoes! Why did you decide to do
this? What do you hope to accomplish? Why shoes? What are your
plans for your company?
A: I established NixShoes this past January in honor of a close friend of
mine who passed away from Leukemia/Lymphoma at the age of 29. He
was like a brother to my brother and me, and it was devastating to us
when he passed. This made me so determined to help advance research
in some way. That is when I came up with the idea of NixShoes. I love
shoes, and so did Felipe. I thought it
was the perfect thing to do. And who doesn’t love shoes? My plans
are to get the first production of shoes underway. They are in
production and hopefully, they will be released before the Christmas chaos. I want to one day open up a store , and for the whole
world to know about them. I have so many plans in store that I
cannot release, but I am super excited about!
Q: What do you want to do when you graduate from college?
A: After I graduate, I definitely want to try out for Disney on Ice
and/or a cruise line ice show. I want to expand my company, and
build it up to a well-known brand name!
(Continued from page 6)
HAYLEY SOO HOO CONT’D
Since then, the group has become my college family, and I am President this year. I also made
the newly-formed Chamber Winds group this year.
I don’t play any other instruments, but I have learned a ton about music history, theory and
technique just by talking to other musicians, playing with ensembles, and taking my Music minor classes. Outside of the Wind Symphony, I’m in my school’s chapter of Delta Omicron (a
co-ed honors music fraternity) and the Student Marketing Association.
Q: Are you still skating while you’re at school?
A: The nearest rink is about 25 miles away, and since I
don’t have a car I don’t get to skate much. However, I
usually get a group of friends together 1 - 2 times a semester and go to a Friday night public. Some of them are
great students . I taught my friend and his girlfriend how
to do crossovers in the Kilian hold the other day.
Q: What do you want to do when you graduate from college? Will you be coming back to
California? Or staying in Virginia?
A: I am currently looking for jobs in marketing, either at an agency or in-house, preferably
for an arts organization or non-profit. I really like Virginia and [Washington] DC , so I’m
thinking about staying out here (Virginia). But the possibility of coming to California is there
as well.
Q: You’re one of the original members of LAIT, and were captain for awhile. Do you miss
that? What do you miss about it?
A: It has been nice to have my Friday nights free since leaving LAIT, but I do miss the team.

HAYLEY SOO HOO CONT’D
It was great experience and a great part of my skating life. I learned so much from it that has
helped me all throughout high school and college. I enjoy watching LAIT perform when I am
home, and helping out at the annual benefit show. I miss
being surrounded by a huge group of talented, funny and
imaginative skaters all the time, but it’s been great to see
the group develop and be recognized for everything it’s
done for Theater on Ice as a sport.

A Round Of Applause & Many Thanks to Ken Taylor and Carla
Golubski.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Ken Taylor of his many generous years of volunteering on behalf of our club. Ken has been a member of the
Board, has served as President of the club, and has judged and officiated at many
of our competitions, and has always been willing to step forward when a need
arose. Most recently Ken served as our Test Chair, and we would like to thank
him for his fine efforts in ensuring our skaters had the opportunity to test, and
handling with great aplomb the very difficult task of scheduling and administering
the roster of tests we have each month.
Recently, Ken has decided to step down from this position and Carla Golubski
(herself also a longtime member of the Board of Directors, former club President and official on behalf of the club) has graciously assumed the position of
Test Chair. We are very grateful for both Ken and Carla’s willingness to serve,
and wish to publicly acknowledge our thanks on behalf
of all club members.
Thank you Ken and thank you Carla!

GOT NEWS?

as the information
contained inside. So

what’s happening!
We’ll report competition and event
news, but the club
also wants to know
about the other
things going on in
your world.
