For more than a century, the club has launched the careers of Olympic medalists and world and national champions while also serving as a training ground for young skaters just learning the sport.

Jinna Han and Spencer Lane, two skaters training at the Norwood club, and their mothers were killed. Two coaches at the facility were also among the victims.
