Thanks to the power of social media, the pre-season domestic competitions that we used to never see in the U.S. are now all available for everyone to watch! Results below are courtesy of the Twitterverse (particularly the host, Glacier Falls FSC @funclub1961) and videos are from our YouTubers (particularly The Skating Lesson).
