The Maxine Hayes Freeland Memorial Trophy is presented to the Juvenile Girls Champion in honor of Mrs. Freeland and her contributions and support to young skaters. This trophy was established in 2007. Mrs. Freeland passed away on December 20th, 2006. Mrs. Freeland loved skating and always helped and supported skaters. Her husband, James Freeland, built several rinks in North Carolina for Mrs. Freeland to be close to her passion. The last rink was in Hillsborough in the Daniel Boone Village near Interstate 85 on Churton Street. The rink was started about 1972. A second full size surface was added about 1980. Mrs. Freeland ran the rinks until 1989. The rinks finally closed in 1995 when the Triangle SportsPlex opened. There are still many skaters locally that have become very involved with the sport that Mrs. Freeland had such passion for. Many skaters have been touched and enriched by her care and support.
Thank you, Mrs. Freeland!
The trophy is sponsored by Daniel Boone Limited and presented by the Central Carolina Skating Club each year at the Central Carolina Skating Classic.
