Teaching children of all ages and adults the fundamentals of ice skating! Figure Skating, the national governing body of the sport of figure skating.

SAM Figure Skating was originally established as The Skating Club of Maine (SCM) over 30 years ago when the Kennebec Skating Club and Penobscot Valley Skating Club (University of Maine at Orono) merged. Ever since, SAM Figure Skating has provided programs and organized events that encourage participation and achievement in the sport of figure skating. In 1986, as The Skating Club of Maine, SAM hosted the nationally televised competition, “Skate America.”

With over 100 current members and growing, SAM Figure Skating is a member of U.S. Operating in four rinks, SAM offers resources for skaters of all ages and skill levels. These resources include coaches, private lessons, test sessions, clinics, competitions, and Basic Skills programs. The mission of the SAM is to promote and advance the sport of skating on ice in Maine. Each year, hundreds of skaters learn the fundamental skills of ice skating used in hockey, recreational, and figure skating from SCM’s Basic Skills programs. SCM offers Basic Skills programs at its home rink – The Bank of Maine Ice Vault -- in Hallowell, the Alfond Arena at Colby College in Waterville, and Midcoast Recreation Center in Rockport.

September Hockey Steering Committee Meeting

Our next Hockey Steering Committee (HSC) meeting will be held Monday, September 21 at 6:00 PM. Please note the time change — we are starting at 6:00 PM rather than 5:30 PM as we have the past few months.

With the season getting closer, there is a lot happening! We’ll be working through preseason clinics, practice and game schedules, tournaments, coaches and parent meetings, picture day, jersey and equipment orders, the 8U draft, girls hockey, goalie development, upcoming events, and other preparations for the 2026–27 season.

All are welcome! We really enjoy having coaches and parents attend HSC meetings, and the additional ideas, perspectives, and feedback are extremely valuable.

If you’re a parent who has thought about getting more involved with the Jr. Terriers this season, this would be an excellent meeting to join us, learn more about everything that goes into the program, and see where you might be able to help.

We hope to see you Monday at 6:00 PM! At The Thomas College Ice Vault
