More On Charlie Whalig: With the news of Charlie Whalig's passing, the skating community is starting to share stories of his influence and impact on the sport and on individuals. You can read more thoughts here and here.

Some of the kind words include 'They say the true measure of greatness as a coach is not how many champions you produce but how many coaches of champions you produce. Many former skaters of Charles are now accomplished coaches in their own right', 'Inline speed skaters can thank Charlie Wahlig for inlines becoming an indoor sport... Charlie spoke eloquently in favor of allowing inlines indoors...', and 'harles along with buggy are the people who kept me in skating. they would always said don't just complain get off you ass and do something'.
