ABOUT THE GARREN

In 1950, under the guidance of Managing Director H.L. “Jack” Garren and Peg Garren, a group of aspiring skaters created the RPI Figure Skating Club. The club's goal was to encourage the artistic sport of figure skating.

While the name has since changed to the Hudson Mohawk Figure Skating Club, its goal has not. That is why since 1983, the Club has honored it -- as well as the memory of its founders -- by hosting the Garren Invitational Competition.
