2015 is already shaping up to be an exciting skating year (for me as much as anyone else), but before we Zamboni the 2014 ice, here's a look back at the year's most memorable skating moments:
Sochi Olympics
Regardless of the results of the competition, any year deemed an Olympic year goes down in the history books.
Johnny & Tara
They're the new voices of skating, having replaced Scott Hamilton & Co. as lead anchors on NBC's figure skating coverage.
The Hanyu/Han Crash
It was bloody and violent. What more could you ask for in a primetime, major league competition?
Music and Lyrics
2014 marked the first season of competition in which lyrics were allowed for programs in ladies, men and pairs events.
Tonya & Nancy Saga Turns 20
I hadn't started my blog until after this notable anniversary was "celebrated," but we've come a long way since that fateful Nationals in 1994. Two very well-done TV documentaries (one by NBC and the other by ESPN) are worth watching that answer a lot of lingering questions.
And for me, 2014 marks a year of hard work and self-discovery on the ice that I hope continues into 2015.
