When Glacier Gardens closed as a skating venue in December 1954, club members skated at a number of smaller studio rinks including the Sonald Studio (1955–1959), located at Midway Drive and Fordham Street, Iceland (1960–1965), located at Lake Murray Boulevard and El Paso Street and the Mission Valley Ice Arena (1965–1969).

In April 1969, the House of Ice, located on Lake Murray Boulevard in La Mesa, California, opened and became the home rink for the club.

In the 1950s, the young skater won the California State Exchange Club Contest but her acceptance of the cash prize ended her amateur status.

After transitioning to Holiday on Ice and touring for a few more years, Champion returned to San Diego and began her coaching career.
