Rinkside Chat with the Northernettes

The Northernettes, in clue dresses with flowy skirts and beaded tops, perform two lifts - one in the forefront and one in the background. In both, three athletes are holding a girl on her stomach as she floats down toward the ice, her right leg up in the air.

As the Northernettes continue to gain momentum, we sat down with head coach Alana Bianchi as well as two team members, Elsie Gilder and Olivia Romo, to talk about the team’s season so far, creating a strong team culture and their programs this year.

Gracie Gold Releases Vulnerable Memoir

Gracie Gold at a book signing for her new book. She smiles, sitting at a table. She wears a black top.
