We Lost A Great Man - Don Baldwin
The Portland skating community has a lost a great.
Sending our condolences and love to the Baldwin Family. Don will be greatly missed. Thank you for sharing his legacy with us and keeping our ice community together.
Portland Monthly had a great Q&A with Mr Baldwin this past September. Link here for full article:
Don Baldwin has been the general manager of Lloyd Center’s ice rink since 1998—long before the snazzy 2016 remodel that shrunk the size of the ice. We asked what keeps him gliding.
What has kept you here for 23 years?
The people. We have really nice people here. We’ve set up kind of a community. I tell people, ‘We’re inside a big pink bubble here.’ Because it’s all about the skaters, it’s all about skating. Everybody comes here and they leave their everyday responsibilities behind.
His family has set a GoFundMe for support during their difficult time. Memorial information can also be found here:
Update:
Join us December 28th at 10am to honor and remember Don Baldwin. It will be held at Lloyd Center Ice rink. Party rooms will be open for light refreshments and a commemoration book. There will also be skating performances dedicated to Don.
If you have any photos, memories and any other tidbits that can be included in the book, it would be appreciated.
We will all be wearing red, Dons favorite color.
We ask for no flowers but instead a donation to Don’s family. The go fund me link will be available that day.
Please park in the Halsey street Parking garage (entrance on 9th and also on Halsey street). Those are the only doors that will be open at that time.

Dear Serge Onik
Serge, you will be greatly missed. Our hearts are broken to have heard the devastating news. We are so incredibly lucky to have had the honor and pleasure to both know you and learn from you. From the Oregon Skating community and beyond we are sending all our love to you and your family.
@sergeonik forever. 💖
Flashback Saturday - Remember when Synchro Nationals skated Portland ice?! →
Although considered one of the five official disciplines of figure skating, synchronized skating—in which teams of up to 24 skaters perform elaborately choreographed routines, often at breakneck speeds—is the only one not yet represented at the Olympics. It's hard to imagine why. If two people flinging each other around the ice is worthy of medals, shouldn't two dozen skaters doing it at the same time be 12 times as worthy?
