Stars on Ice
Quick Summary
Stars on Ice is an American figure skating company founded in 1986 by Scott Hamilton and sports agent Robert D. Kain. It features a relatively small cast of elite international skaters, many of whom are Olympic and world champions. The show presents individual and group performances with sophisticated choreography and triple jumps, incorporating a new theme, individual routines, and original production numbers each year. Unlike eligible skating competitions, professional events like Stars on Ice often prioritize television ratings and feature high-profile skaters. Judges for professional events are typically experienced international coaches or former skaters.12
