Skaters from across New England to be Dedham Savings Sweepers

The youngest participants for the upcoming ISU World Figure Skating Championships® 2025 will be the Dedham Savings Sweepers, the 6-14-year-old skaters who will pick up stuffed animals and other gifts thrown on the ice after a skater’s performance during the five-day event.

The 39 skaters are from across New England including 24 cities in Massachusetts, three towns in New Hampshire, one town from Maine and one town in Rhode Island. The other states that are represented include New York (1), Virginia (1) and Florida (2). A full list of the Sweepers and their hometowns can be found on the event's website.

The young skaters tried out on December 8, 2024 and were selected for their skating ability, personality and positive attitude.

“We’re so excited that talented, local skaters have qualified to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to serve as a Dedham Savings Sweeper on the world stage during the ISU World Figure Skating Championship event,” said Liz Bissell, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Dedham Savings. “We are so fortunate to partner with The Skating Club of Boston, which is a leader in American Figure Skating, and to be associated with the prestigious ISU World Figure Skating Championship event taking place in Boston.”

The Dedham Savings Sweepers will participate in eight competitive events and the Exhibition of Champions at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships® 2025, which will be held at the TD Garden from March 25 to 30. They will wear custom-designed costumes by Josiane Lamond of Lamond Signature.

“Having these young skaters represent the host country and participate in the Event is a long-standing tradition of the ISU World Figure Skating Championships,” said Doug Zeghibe, CEO and Executive Director of The Skating Club of Boston, the local organizing committee for the event. “We are very grateful to Dedham Savings for sponsoring the team and for their ongoing support of this event.”
