Figure Skating at Xcel

The Minnesota Wild play two home games this week including a match-up tonight against the Calgary Flames, but next week hockey skates on the Xcel Energy Center ice will be replaced with figure skates as the US Figure Skating Championships come to St Paul. The 2008 Figure Skating event runs from January 20th to the 27th and it is the first time it has been to the Xcel Energy Center St Paul. If you enjoy the fluid movements of talented skaters with toe picks, then the figure skating event might be for you. The 2008 Figure Skating Championships would be a great time to bring your kids down to the Xcel Energy Center. The ladies will compete for the gold on January 26 and the men will compete January 27th. Don’t miss this skating spectacular!
