    Application:

Roli Licup (1961 - 2022) was an adult figure skater who began skating at the Arcadia Ice Arena (now AZ Ice Arcadia) around 2008. He started as a beginning adult student in the Arcadia Learn-to-Skate Program and later took private lessons and became a very competent skater. He joined the Arcadia Figure Skating Club in 2010 as one of the founding members. He always enjoyed helping other skaters learn their basic skating skills.

In March of 2016 he took a job at AZ Ice Arcadia that he thought would just be temporary while he continued his job search, but he was a hard worker and soon he had been crossed trained on all the positions in the rink including Pro-Shop Cashier, Barista,  Party Room Coordinator, Birthday Party Lesson Instructor, Zamboni Driver and Facilities and Ice Maintenance Technician. 

At the rink he was always moving at a fast pace, but would make time to greet everyone with his friendly smile. His last shift was on Martin Luther King Day, Jan 17th, 2022 when he finished the ice maintenance for his final time.

Roli Licup Memorial Fund:

To honor the life of adult figure skater Roli Licup the Arcadia FSC has established a fund to help figure skaters of all ages who are in need of financial assistance to pursue their skating goals.
