Eighth in Ontario

Leamington Skating Club’s Dash Sheeler finished eighth in Ontario in STAR 5 Men’s (013) at the Cassie Campbell Community Centre in Brampton this past weekend for the 2024 Skate Ontario Provincial Championships. The 15-year-old Leamington District Secondary Student was the only local skater to compete in the provincials and was ranked 9th in all of Ontario for his division prior to the event. Sheeler was out for a final practice on the Unico ice rink on March 21 with coach Laurie Horne-Klassen. Sheeler, who started skating seven years ago, is now 6 feet 3 inches tall without skates on, and according to his coach he has been working through, and adjusting to, some growth spurts this past year. But when asked, he said his strongest move and also his favourite move to perform is a Flying Camel.
