To the Centaurus Ice Skating Club web site. The
first ice skating club web site in New Zealand. Founded in 1951 the club took
its name from the original
ice rink in Christchurch sited in Centaurus Road
at the foot of the Cashmere
Hills. Our aim is to promote, encourage, and
advance ice skating and anyone is welcome to join.
Centaurus is the only ice
skating club in Christchurch for Free, Dance and
Synchronized Skating.
Centaurus conducts, promotes and
participates in competitions within
the Club, with other South Island skating clubs
and in National competitions.
Centaurus has won interclub
shields many times and has a proud record of
having its members selected to represent
New Zealand overseas in freeskate, dance, synchronized and speed competitions. At present we
can claim to be New Zealand's leading club, having
won the inter club trophies at both the South
Island and National championships
every year since 2001.
Members range in age from pre
schoolers to superannuitants, and from new to
experienced skaters. They include local, regional
and national champions,
current and retired.
