The Skating Club of Boston suffers a devastating loss with the death of two young skaters, their mothers, and two esteemed coaches in a plane crash. The victims, including teen figure skaters Spencer Lane and Jinna Han and their mothers, were returning from a development camp. Executive director Doug Zeghibe expressed deep sorrow, emphasizing the close-knit nature of the skating community and the profound impact this tragedy will have on it. The accident, involving a mid-air collision with a U.S. Army helicopter, has left many grieving in this tight community.
“Skating is a very close and tight knit community. These kids and their parents, they’re here at our facility in Norwood six, sometimes seven days a week. It’s a close, tight bond. And I think for all of us, we have lost family.”
“This tragedy will have long-reaching impacts for our skating community. The loss of these young athletes and their mothers, along with our revered coaches, is heartbreaking.”
