HISTORY
The Ilderton Skating Club, formerly known as the Ilderton Winter Club, is the London and area’s largest skating club.
Ilderton Winter Club was formed in 1972 when Ilderton Arena was newly built. The head coach was Dennis Silverthorne and the first president was Gerry Kay. Ilderton expanded to the newly built Hockeyland in south London. In 1975, Ilderton co-hosted Sectionals with the London Skating Club. Ilderton became the youngest club ever to host the Canadian Figure Skating Championships at the new G.W.Thompson Athletic Centre at the University of Western Ontario.
In 1977, Ilderton Winter Club hosted the first ever Canadian International Invitational Precision Skating (synchronized) competition at the Ilderton arena in March. The precision competition outgrew Ilderton Arena in just one year and was quickly moved to Thompson Arena for many years to come.
