Skating instructor deserves place in Hall of Fame

The CNI Newspapers sports staff extends congratulations to New Berlin’s Sue Susic Ervin on her nomination to the Wisconsin Sports Hall of Fame.

Ervin’s nomination is richly deserved, as she will go down in history as one of the United States’ all-time best in the sport of figure skating.

Ervin’s excellence in the sport began with her own triple gold medalist achievement in figures and freestyle in the United States, Europe and Canada. Her greatest contribution has come in the coaching arena, as she has guided 18 students from the amateur to professional ranks over her 25 years of coaching.

The chief local beneficiaries of Ervin’s instruction have been the Greater Milwaukee Figure Skating Club and the Wisconsin Figure Skating Club, with which she still teaches. She has also served as choreographer for “Red, White and Blades”, a Wisconsin Figure Skating Club production.
