Practice Ice Information

There are a number of forms available to help you select your practice ice sessions.

  • PI by Event shows all official practices, warm ups, and events - organized by event.
  • Final Master PI Schedule shows all unofficial, official, and warm-up practice ice sessions; but not the Event time itself.
    • From this list you can pick your unofficial practices.
    • You may also order more practice ice (postmark deadline is November 4th).

Please note: We have posted a new, slightly revised Schedule of Events.

Remember, we will assign the Official Practice sessions and the Warm-Ups, according to referee direction. We will assign you to group A or group B. Those lists will also be posted. Warm-Up sessions will be divided by start order (e.g, 1 -6, 7-12) so you will not know which group you are in until you are here and can look at the posted start orders. Official practice ice groups will be posted on www.sk8stuff.com. Please watch the website for your scheduled time(s).

As of 7pm Monday November 1st, this information is live on www.sk8stuff.com. From there you will pick your own unofficial PI session only if you preordered. You will need a PIN and can get it from the practice ice signup on the sk8stuff website. There is a link to have your PIN sent to you directly below the practice ice login box. The PIN will be sent to the email that you gave to us on your entry form.

Each of you who has prepaid can pick your unofficial PI sessions based on the number you paid for. The limit is still 2 per day maximum. The system will not allow you to buy more than what you paid for. Music is played only on official practices.

If you did not prepay for unofficial practice ice and would like to order sessions, print and complete the practice ice form. Enclose a check for $20 per person per 30 minute unofficial practice ice session and mail it to Luci Hochrein 1820 Chicory Ridge Rd. Ann Arbor, MI 48103. The due date for mailed orders is November 4. Please get your request in the mail promptly and do not email orders. Additional practice ice will be available in the practice ice office at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube beginning Tuesday morning November 9.

PURCHASING OFFICIAL PRACTICE: Official practice has been pre-purchased. However, if there are available openings on the official practice ice, we will be offering those spots for sale onsite one hour prior to that session. No music will be played for those competitors who purchase these spots. The maximum number of skaters that were initially scheduled to be on that ice will not be exceeded.
