Contrary to popular belief, ice skating is not a predominantly female activity. In fact, there have been many notable male figure skaters who have enjoyed great amounts of success around the world. Here is a list of some notable male figure skaters:
- John Curry
John Curry won the Olympic gold medal for men’s figure skating in 1976. He was born in England and began taking lessons at a very young age. Curry would later become famous for incorporating many elements of dancing and ballet into his figure skating. - Terry Kubicka
Terry Kubicka was born in California in 1956. He began skating early and is famous for having pioneered the backflip in skating competitions. However, after he performed the move at the 1976 Olympic and World Figure Skating Championships, the backflip was banned from all amateur figure skating competitions. - Evgeni Plushenko
Evgeni Plushenko won the Olympic gold medal for men’s figure skating in 2006. Jumping plays a critical role in figure skating, and it is also Evgeni Plushenko’s strength. He is famously able to land extremely difficult jump combinations in competitions. - Todd Eldredge
Todd Eldredge is considered by many to be one of the most decorated male figure skaters of all time. He competed in three Olympics and a number of other skating competitions both in America and around the world. - Kurt Browning
Kurt Browning is one of the most well-known Canadian figure skaters. In addition to winning many Canadian skating competitions, he also holds the record for being the first male ice skater to land a quadruple jump in competition.

Ice skating is a fun way to stay healthy and fit, especially during the colder months. Having the right accessories can make your ice skating experience safer and more fun. Here is a list of must-have skating accessories:
Gloves
Ice skating rinks can be quite cold, and falling on the ice can be painful if you don’t have the proper protection. Gloves can help keep you warm and protect your hands from the ice. Furthermore, wearing gloves does not mean you have to sacrifice style—gloves come in a variety of colors and sizes, and some even have special designs.
Hat
One of the best ways to keep warm while ice skating is to wear a furry hat that covers your ears. Hats come in a variety of sizes and colors to ensure that you will be able to stay warm while you skate, regardless of your style preferences.
Blade Guards
In order to get the most out of your ice skating experience, it is important that your skate’s blades be sharp and well-maintained. Blade guards are a great way to protect your blades from impact and scratching, keeping them sharp and straight.
Palm Guards
Learning how to ice skate can be a painful experience—most people fall several times before they truly get the hang of it. Wearing palm guards, especially when you are learning how to skate, can help guard your hands and wrists against injury.
Knee Pads
Your knees are also susceptible to injury when you are ice skating. Wearing kneepads will protect your knees and give you the confidence to try new maneuvers.
