History
HFSC has been an active part of the Hershey community since its founding in 1934. Though it was officially established that year, Milton Hershey's interest in figure skating dates much earlier. The idea for an established club grew out of a local group's desire to rent the rink for sessions devoted to figure skating. Milton Hershey was very supportive of the Skating Club and became its first official member. The same year the club was established Mr. Hershey sponsored its first Ice Carnival, featuring well-known professional figure skaters. Hershey's interest in figure skating as well as hockey was a key factor in Milton Hershey's decision to build the Hershey Sports Arena (now known as the Hersheypark Arena) in 1936. Since then, HFSC has played an important role in our community's recreational life, providing opportunities for learning and practicing figure skating to children and adults.
