Skating Union Formed to Control Ice Sports in North America
Montreal hosted the creation of the International Skating Union of America aimed at unifying and controlling ice sports in the United States and Canada. D H Slayback became head, Louis Rubenstein as vice president, and Fred Tucker as secretary treasurer, with representatives from three skating bodies present. The move follows disputes with the Amateur Athletic Union of America over Montreal events deemed unsanctioned.
