2026 was truly a golden year for Olympic figure skating. I grew up watching my favorite skaters and my daughter is a figure skater! She was thrilled when we surprised her with tickets to see Stars on Ice!

When we heard that Stars on Ice would be touring, we could not miss the opportunity, even if it required a 2.5 hours drive to Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC. We missed the pre-sale for the post show Meet & Greet with the skaters, but secured tickets for the PreShow Star Gazers. We arrived several hours early to watch the team warm-up on the ice. It was so cool to see the stars up-close and watch them practice parts from their routines, especially the spins and jumps.
Star Gazers Q& A with Danny O'Shea & Ellie Kam

We were so inspired by the Q&A portion with Danny O’Shea and Ellie Kam. They shared their stories of adversity and triumph through serious injuries and many other challenges. They really captivated us with their vulnerability and passion for their sport and achieving their goals. The years they devoted to their training are impressive and they also shared the importance of prioritizing physical and mental health. As a parent, I was brought to tears listening to their skating journey and how grateful they were for the support of their families, friends, and coaches.

Stars on Ice was absolutely spectacular from the beginning to end! One of our favorite moments was when the USA TEAM skaters performed highlights from their Olympic programs and then reenacted their podium moment for us! It was beyond exhilarating and such a proud moment to hear the crowds cheering for our USA team! Each performance and music selection was beautifully choreographed and kept the crowd energized and yearning for more! There are definitely surprises and you do not want to miss any Golden moments, especially from our Blade Angels!
We were awestruck by all the stars for sharing their artistic talents, courage, and dedication to figure skating. We wish them all good health for this tour and continued success in their skating journeys!
