Two-time Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan won’t be skating on thin ice tonight, and I doubt if Christian contemporary singer Amy Grant will even lace up her ice skates. But a whole host of national, world and Olympic figure skaters will perform and celebrate the holiday as part of the “Holiday Celebration on Ice” at The Orleans Arena.

Amy will be joined by singer-songwriter Michael W. Smith to provide the magical sounds of the holidays. Nancy and U.S. champion Todd Eldredge highlight the cast of skaters.

So this is a case of both the iceman and the ice ladies cometh!

The figure skaters ringing in the holidays with unforgettable routines and breathtaking talent include Olympic champion Ilia Kulik, world champion Yuka Sato, Canadian national champion Jennifer Robinson and Canadian and world ice dancing champion Shay-Lynn Bourne. Other figure skaters include Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon, Surya Bonaly and John Zimmerman.
