They were ICC until December 2010. They were located in Naperville, and moved to their current location in Aurora right around that same time (I really think only a month or so before they closed).When did they change their name to ICE? And I thought the Aurora location was the 1st and main one? I know next to nothing about Illinois cheer, though!
I remember all this clearly because we had just moved to Chicago and were heading out there THAT WEEKEND to have my girls try out. Someone on here (this was the same month I joined Fierce Board) PM'd me and said not to go there and that some drama was coming. I was waiting to decide what to do, when lo and behold that weekend they closed up and the owner was arrested. Come to find out this was the 2nd owner to have this charge.
I took my kids elsewhere and never looked back (well, maybe looked back a little, but only to side eye the bullet I had dodged!)
ICE bought them out shortly thereafter - not sure exactly when. Sometime in spring of 2011 I guess?
Side note: in the 4 years since, this secret source and I have gotten to know each other better, and "the source" has Never. Been. Wrong. About. Anything. (cheer related at least) I'd take what they say as the gospel when it comes to cheer.
