For the first time ever, Ice Cross raced indoors on American soil, and it was nothing short of electric. Held at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington, Illinois, this game-changing event marked a bold new era for the sport — one where speed, innovation, and community came crashing together on the ice.
With a packed house and a custom-built track designed for high-octane action, 30 athletes — from seasoned pros to rising local stars — lined up to race shoulder-to-shoulder through tight turns, explosive jumps, and unforgiving ice. The crowd? Loud. The energy? Off the charts.
But this event wasn’t just about competition. It was about legacy. A free youth clinic earlier in the day brought local kids face-to-face with Ice Cross legends like Tim Cimmer, Dylan Moriarity, Leevi Nakari, and Stefan Vajsabel. Together, they laid the foundation for the sport’s future — coaching the next generation with hands-on support and safety-focused instruction.
And the results? Spectacular!
