Our Figure Skating Program is under the guidance of our own Karen Magnussen. 

In 1972, Karen was the focal point in a new era of Figure Skating, one that emphasized free skating ability over compulsory figures. The change came in 1973 and with this change Karen became Champion of the World. The young lady from North Vancouver won the World Cmpionship in Bratislava Czechoslovakia. The year before Karen won the Olympic Silver Medal in Sapporo Japan and a Silver medal at the 72 World Championships in Lyon France. The Six times Canadian National Champion and North American Champion who became Canada’s media darling got her start right here at the North Shore Winter Club.
