Coaches and skating clubs

Many skaters go on to coach. Ideas:

• Students' achievements on the back.
• A trophy at the club in their name.

Pair with "Grace on ice, grace in life".

Outdoor rinks and family memories

For many Canadian families, skating memories start on a backyard rink or frozen pond:

• Etch a backyard rink under the lights.
• A frozen pond with pines and a single skater.
• "See you on the ice" as the epitaph.
• Skates hung on a nail — a nostalgic image.

These scenes work for recreational skaters and lifelong competitors alike.

Granite and design choices

Figure skating suits graceful, luminous designs:

• Blue Pearl or Bahamas Blue for an icy shimmer.
• White or silver lettering.
• A skater's silhouette mid-spin, etched on black granite.
• Snowflake accents in the corners.
• A swoop or curved top echoing a skating arc.

Keep the name in a clear font; save script for the epitaph.

Key Takeaways

• Skates and snowflakes are favourites.
• Winter-toned granite suits skaters.
• Graceful epitaphs fit.
