Synchro

SynchroSkateIconSynchronized skating (“synchro”) is a specialized discipline of skating involving groups of eight or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. The objective is for the team to perform as one unit executing circles, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections in unison to the music, while demonstrating quality edges, power and flow. More information at Skate Canada “SynchroSkate”.

Synchronized skating has grown in popularity around the world and Canada is considered a world-leader in this discipline. As a result of this increased popularity and demand from skaters across the Greater Hamilton Area, Steel City Synchro was formulated in the 2016/2017 season to provide skaters of all age and skill levels to participate in this team sport.  In the 2018/2019 season, the Ancaster Affinity Adult teams joined the Steel City Synchro family of teams.
