"Skate, Hope, Love," was the theme of the Breezy Point Figure Skating Club's annual ice show, held Friday and Saturday, April 16-17, at the Breezy Point Ice Arena, featuring members of the Breezy Point Figure Skating Club and Skate School, ages 3-17.

The club was unable to hold last year's show because of the COVID-19 pandemic, so skaters were happy to take to the ice to perform this year.
