Karel began skating as a child at the age of 5 at local ponds and lakes with her family. After attending the Ice Capades and seeing Dorothy Hamill win an Olympic Gold Medal, she was hooked. When the Ice-a-Rama opened in Wilkes-Barre in 1976, she was there on opening day, and 30 years later, loves it as much as day one.
She was a Learn to Skate Coach at the Ice-a-Rama, has volunteered for the Special Olympics and initiated the first figure skater from the Ice-a-Rama to perform at the former Casey Arena now Mohegan Sun. Through her public affiliations, she has met Tara Lapinski, Todd Eldredge, Kurt Browning, Michael Weiss, Sasha Cohen, and Nancy Kerrigan along with several other Olympic and National winning skaters.
