Many of TISC's members came out for a wonderful evening which included free pizza and delicious deserts by Candy Wong. Even the old timers like Gord Pannell, who is one of the original TISC members from 1991, came out for the evening.

This was a chance that many took to find old friends and to begin the winter season of training with a practice that followed the party. A few of the skaters decided it was time to throw on the quads and jam and dance to the roller-skating music.


Moving like they know: Left to right- Mister Pauley, Morgan Williams, and Jesse Pauley can really move their feet and boogie and get down to the music!
Wayne Burrett broke out the old games from the TISC parties from a few years ago. Paul Ho won one of the games but decided to give his prize to the 2nd place finisher- a young boy. This was the general feeling of the evening; fun, camaraderie, celebrating the past, and looking to the future.
