CIC's History
The Cleveland Invitational Championships (CIC’s) are held to stimulate interest in figure skating and to afford a competitive experience for skaters. The competition is conducted according to the current U.S. Figure Skating rules. Previously limited to Cleveland-area skaters, CIC’s is open to all skaters from any club.
CIC’s is a GCC Competition hosted by our member clubs. The 2026 competition is being considered for host clubs. If your club is interested in hosting for 2026, please complete the Bid Form below and submit for consideration.
For subsequent years, member clubs may bid on hosting CICs by submitting the bid form. The competition is always hosted in a rink no less than 200 feet in length. If the Host Club’s rink is less than 200 feet in length, the Host Club either passes on the competition or arranges for a different rink within which to host the competition.​
