The moment Becca Hemingway pitched her brain-child “Battle of the Blades: Ice… It’s Hard!” to the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club’s Board of directors, everybody thought we had a winner. When creative geniuses Gia Guddat and Lisa-Marie Allen signed on to work together as Co-Artistic Directors, and veteran ice show skater and producer Nick Maricich agreed to be Production Manager, everybody knew we had a winner. Once the ball started rolling, there was no stopping it. Trina Peters joined Becca as Co- Chair, nine talented professional skaters offered to donate their time to choreograph programs and teach contestants (some of whom could count the number of times they had put on skates before on one hand), and nine of the most fun, fearless, and well-loved “local celebrities” in the valley agreed to be the contestants. Soon, members of the Sun Valley Ice Show Ensemble cast jumped on board, and, to everyone’s delight, popular Sun Valley Ice Show star “Spin Doctor” Craig Heath and breathtaking Pairs team Elena Leonova...
