This section includes memories and photos of figure skater, Haley Rose Gans, who died tragically in a skiing accident on Friday, November 20, 2009. She was fourteen years old.

Haley brought joy to everyone she touched. When Haley competed in figure skating competitions, she felt she was competing with people, rather than against them. She passed hugs and smiles around every day, and she brought happiness to the ice skating world.

Many people in figure skating knew and loved Haley. Gans was hearing impaired, but that disability did not stop her from doing great things in skating and in life.
