After an unexpected flight delay following the 2024 Target USA CUP, the US Virgin Islands team decided to make the most of their extended stay—and ended up lacing up ice skates for the very first time at the National Sports Center’s Super Rink. With no ice skating opportunities back home, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that quickly turned into a team favorite.
Fast forward to 2025: they’re back at the tournament and didn’t hesitate to ask, “Can we skate again?” Of course, we said yes.
Now on skates for just the second time ever, the team glided (and laughed) their way across the ice, proving that the Target USA CUP is more than just soccer—it’s about unforgettable moments, new adventures, and memories that go beyond the field.
Check out the photos of their chilly, cheerful skating session—you won’t want to miss these smiles!
