A club-owned rink in Bloomfield Hills whose history runs from 1910s Detroit to Olympic champions.
The Detroit Skating Club's story begins around 1910, when Detroit skaters glided on the frozen lakes and rivers around Belle Isle. David Brown established the first modern ice rink in the Detroit area, and Gladys Salsinger soon organized a figure skating club; after the war, Olympia Stadium was built and she formed the Olympia Skating Club, whose carnivals featured amateur stars including Sonja Henie.
In 1946 members bought a building that had housed the horses of automotive magnate Charles T. Fisher, and in 1978 the club moved to its present home in Bloomfield Hills, with an Olympic-size rink. It is one of only a handful of clubs in the United States that still own and operate their own facility.
Its skaters have included Todd Eldredge, Nicole Bobek, Tara Lipinski and pairs team Danielle and Steve Hartsell in the 1990s, and Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, Jeremy Abbott, and Meryl Davis and Charlie White in the 2000s.
