Our Skater of the Week is Robin Jewels #16! This is Jewel’s 2nd season with CRG, and she’s already proven herself a force on the track. When she jams, her fast footwork always leaves us in awe. When she blocks, you can count on her to communicate. Plus, she’s committed off the track: She’s always repping CRG out into the community – skating in parades and at volunteer events.
