They are five-time bronze medalists at the World Synchronized Skating Championships, earning the title in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2016. Formed in 1979 by Lynn Benson, the Haydenettes are the most successful synchronized skating team in U.S. history, with 28 U.S. National titles.[2]

The team[]

Members of the Haydenettes are required to have mastered advanced figure skating skills, including senior-level moves, gold-level pattern dances, and at least novice freestyle.[3] [4] The Hayden teams draw skaters from around the world, though the teams are composed primarily of skaters from the greater Boston area. The Haydenettes practice at both the Hayden Recreation Center[5] in Lexington, Massachusetts, and the New England Sports Center in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Synchronized skating is sanctioned by U. S. Figure Skating (USFS)[6][7] and the International Skating Union (ISU),[8] the two governing bodies for all skating events in the U.S. and internationally, respectively.

Associated teams[]

Hayden Figure Skating Club fields currently nine divisions in synchronized skating that compete under sanctioning by USFSA. Each of the teams appear in various ice shows, exhibitions and other events around the country.[2]

Hayden Figure Skating Club has eight synchronized skating teams at eight competitive levels:[2]

  1. Mini Shooting Stars, Beginner
  2. Shooting Stars, Preliminary

The Haydenettes have represented the U.S. in every World Championship since the International Skating Union (ISU) sanctioned the first World Championship event in 2000. The team's success has earned it the nickname "The Haydenettes Dynasty."[10]

During 2003, the Haydenettes led a contingent of three teams to France where they won The French Cup for the U.S. In addition, the United States contingent won The Nations Cup, awarded to the highest scoring country in this competition.[2] Their awards include the Bronze medal in the 2005 Prague Cup and the Silver medal in the 2004 Neuchâtel Trophy in Switzerland.

The Haydenettes were the 2010 national champions with a score of 231.14, the highest-ever posted to date at the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships by nearly 18 points. They went on to win the bronze medal at the World Championships held in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2010. The team won their second bronze at the 2011 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland.
