Want to learn more about figure skating history? You are in the right place!

Created in 2013, Skate Guard Blog explores the overlooked, forgotten, and underappreciated corners of figure skating history - from little-known stories to fresh perspectives on famous skaters, eras, and events. There’s always something new to discover, so grab a cup of coffee and glide into the rich, fascinating history of the world’s most beloved winter sport.

A Short Break & A Season of New Stories Ahead!

A little PSA - Skate Guard Blog is taking a bit of a summer/early fall break and will return to its regular weekly schedule in November. In the meantime, there are hundreds of articles about figure skating history to explore.

I've already written a whole slate of new blogs for the 2026–2027 skating season, so there's lots to look forward to!

Behind the scenes, I've also finished two new figure skating reference books that will be released next season, and I'm currently in the editing & layout stage for another new book, which is keeping me extremely busy.

Wishing everyone a wonderful summer - thank you, as always, for reading and supporting Skate Guard Blog. I can't wait to share everything that's coming over the next skating season! ⛸️
