Connie and Jody Connie & Jody's children always loved going to the skating rink; so when presented with the opportunity, they decided to purchase a rink in 1996.

One of the first projects was to add a pro shop to the establishment. Connie took over the pro and stuff shops, while Jody managed the rink side of the business.

"I had no idea there was so much to learn about boots, plates, parts and skating styles," says Connie when asked where she learned so much about skates. "I bugged all the distributors for years with questions. Everyone was very helpful and patient."

When Connie and Jody started getting calls from skaters around the country looking to buy skates, Connie came up with the idea to start an online business. This coincided with her being diagnosed with a health concern that prevented her from going to the rink. So, Connie's Skate Place was born.

After a decade in the rink business, they decided that it was time to focus full time on the online business.

Jody is happy to help with your skate questions through phone calls and text messages.





Dawn
Dawn is Connie and Jody's eldest daughter. She has been skating since 6 years old - although it was only casually until she was about 14 years old.

That was when she discovered the local rink and you would find her there every Friday and Saturday night. One of her favorite pairs of skates was the now long forgotten Gliders - which was an artistic boot mounted on an inline frame. When Connie and Jody purchased the rink, Dawn was thrilled in her role as DJ and skate guard.

Dawn has retired from the business to focus on her family.











Christina

Christina is Connie and Jody's youngest daughter - and middle child. Her first foray into skating was probably around the age of 4.

Her teenage years were spent at the local rink with friends, and when Connie and Jody purchased a rink, she felt right at home when she joined the team there to run the snack bar as well as help coordinate the after school and summer camp programs.

Christina is in charge of processing your orders quickly (She is super fast!) and answering your emails.
