The Skating Club of Boston will celebrate the grand opening of their brand new, best-in-class skating facility in Norwood, MA on Saturday, December 4th at 6:00 pm with a star-studded skating exhibition event in their Tenley E. Albright Performance Center.

Woburn resident and Haydenettes team member Tessa Lytle will be one of the featured skaters at the event. Hayden Synchronized Skating’s senior-level athletes, the Haydenettes, compete at the highest level of figure skating both nationally and internationally. The 28-time U.S. National Champions and 5-time World Bronze Medalists are currently the most decorated U.S. team, and they work passionately to maintain their status as one of the top-ranked synchro teams in the world. The Haydenettes have represented the United States at every World Championship since its beginning in 2000, and their most recent U.S. Championship (in 2020) was their eleventh consecutive one.

This special event will be the first full-capacity ticketed skating show in Boston since 2019 and will be the largest gathering of figure skating Olympians and U.S. champions outside the Olympics itself. The event will be hosted by Olympian Scott Hamilton, with proceeds benefiting the CARES Foundation, Mass General Brigham, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
