Families skate with Canadian Olympic hockey hero

A recent Saturday afternoon family skating event, hosted by Podium Developments, on freshly flooded ice at their future Ironwood community in North Oshawa (1569 Simcoe St. N.), saw about 50 moms, dads, kids and grandparents meet and skate with five-time world and Canadian Women’s Olympic hockey champion goalie, Sami Jo Small. The two-time Gold medal winner and MVP shared her experiences with skaters around a bonfire with hot chocolate. Obliging all for photos and autographs before giving some tips to first-time skaters, she’s shown with Podium Development’s Vice President, Development Christian Huggett (at right) and Development Manager Adam Lennie. The Ironwood community will be a stunning collection of modern townhomes with numerous community amenities called keystones, an outdoor skating rink among them. Podium and their partner Building Capital invited all attendees to bring their used skates as a donation for Skate to Great, a non-profit organization that donates skates to those in need.
