Welcome to Blue Edge Figure Skating Club of Connecticut
Blue Edge FSC of CT, Inc. (formerly Yale Figure Skating Club, Inc.) is a member of United States Figure Skating (U.S. Figure Skating), the national governing body of ice skating in the United States. After running a successful skating program for over 40 years as Yale Figure Skating Club, Inc. at Yale's Ingalls Rink, in 2021, we changed our name to Blue Edge Figure Skating Club of Connecticut, Inc. and moved to a new home rink at M&T Bank Arena, Quinnipiac University York Hill Campus, 305 Sherman Avenue, Hamden, Connecticut 06518. The name Blue Edge acknowledges our past association with Yale’s blue color, expresses our enthusiasm for our home rink in the land of the famous Blue Blazed hiking trails and symbolizes our blue state flag and the blue waters of Long Island Sound along the southern edge of our state. Please explore our website or contact us to find out about our membership options and skating programs.
