Chesapeake Open brings fresh hope — but also memories of skaters lost in D.C. crash

Last year, when Yulia “Julia” Kay arrived at Chesapeake Open, a competition run by the Baltimore Figure Skating Club, event Chair Judy Carrig greeted her at the registration desk. They’d been emailing back and forth, trying to figure out how Julia could watch as many of her kids’ events as possible. The Gardens Ice House in Laurel has two sheets of ice, and together her three skaters’ events totaled 10 appearances on the ice.
