Thank you for posting this - I remember when this idea was brought forward - there are so few male skaters that I think it is a great idea so that the boys don't feel so isolated or wonder why they are attracted to a sport that attracts so many girls.I see that one of the Icemen competitions will be held in my area this year - I look forward to seeing and perhaps judging some of those competitions - it is rather disheartening to see the boys not participate in non-qualifying competitions (because there are so few competitors at the same level) or be lumped in with the girls and then become totally disheartened when they don't place well.
