Morry Stillwell, president of US Figure Skating from 1995 to 1998, and many, many years as a US Figure Skating official at SDFSC events, passed away on Dec. 25, 2020. He was 93 years old. He is survived by his wife, Elda, who has also served the SDFSC as an official, and his daughter Lisa.
US Figure Skating post captures other accomplishments. The SDFSC has made a donation to the US Figure Skating Memorial Fund in memory of Morry Stillwell.
Residing in Fallbrook, California, he was a national singles/pairs and national showcase judge, a national singles/pairs and national showcase referee, and a nonqualifying singles technical controller. He served as an official for U.S. Figure Skating since 1951.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

We have secured Tuesday, December 22, 2020, from 2 pm to 8 pm at San Diego Ice Arena (SDIA) for the rescheduled Road To Goad Training Camp. All COVID-19 safety procedures setup up by SDIA will be followed. Camp participants will be divided into smaller groups by skill levels. All scheduled events will take place at SDIA. ALL of the above is subject to further changes based upon city and county COVID restrictions in December.
The Road to Gold Training Camp classes including: Skating Skills, Jump Drills, Spins, Combo Jumps, Turns & Clusters, Power Skating and Off Ice Classes. Updated Road to Gold flyer.
There are a limited number of open spots still available for this camp. We are only allowing participates to sign up for the FULL CAMP ($195) as this will allow us to follow COVID restrictions more easily. Here is the link to the 2020 Road to Gold Camp on EntryEeze. The system is currently configured to receive “late” entries with no extra fee until December 15th.
Availability and schedule of Private Lessons and Holiday Party with the Stars (aka Skating with the Stars Party) has not yet been finalized, but if you want to participate you may want to keep the morning of the same day free.
Thank you for hanging in with us, hoping for this opportunity, for the Road to Gold Training Camp with Gracie Gold and Max Aaron. Questions can be sent to RoadToGold@SanDiegoFSC.org.
Each year U.S. Figure Skating recognizes student-athletes who have worked hard to pursue figure skating while maintaining their academics. While figure skating is not a traditional school sport, it requires the same dedication, perseverance, and time management as any varsity sport. It is the goal of the Graduating Senior Award program of U.S. Figure Skating to help ensure these student-athletes are recognized for those skills.
Graduating Senior Awardees, San Diego FSC:
Congratulations on all the hard work during these trying times. Here is a message from Team USA athletes for the Class of 2020.
UPDATE: 03/24/2020 – U.S. Figure Skating has further canceled events until May 11, 2020. SDFSC will continue to monitor and change scheduled events as necessary.
As of this morning, U.S. Figure Skating strongly recommends that all club events and programs (competitions, test sessions, shows, etc.) are canceled or postponed through at least April 12. The San Diego FSC believes this is a prudent precaution to help our country control the spread of the COVID-19. As a result:
You can either choose to keep your reserved spot or request a full refund. Email the appropriate chair if you want to receive a refund. Road to Gold is roadtogold@sandiegofsc.org, for Test Session email testing@sandiegofsc.org.
We hope that all of our figure skating family remains safe.
Sincerely,
SDFSC Board of Directors
