Two-time Olympic figure skater and national champion Nancy Kerrigan returned to the ice on Saturday, aiming to motivate the upcoming generation from the global stage to the Glenview Ice Center.

“She’s going to be focusing on some edge drills, as well as jumps and spins, engaging in exercises to enhance those skating abilities,” shared Figure Skating Director Julie Brinskelle.

Dozens of budding skaters got some pointers from a pro whose history glistens on and off the ice.

“Nancy, for me, represents so much grace and strength and persistence, so it’s really awesome,” said Demi Parkinson with the Glenview Park District.

Stephany, 16, says getting the chance to learn directly from Kerrigan is something she will always cherish.

“I hope that I can, hopefully, one day, be as graceful as her and soak up all the information she can give today,” Stephany said.

Sisters Nicole and Mariah Song are some of Glenview’s youngest figure skaters, taking in every piece of advice from Kerrigan.

“I learned to backwards jump on one foot,” Nicole said.

“It is very cool and very fun,” Mariah said.

It is lesson for the books from a legend on the ice.
