Atlanta Ice Marvels or AIM was formed in 2010 by Joel McRae, Victor Dagatan, Matt Harden and Jim Duggan, for the purpose of competing in the Ice Art World Championships in Fairbanks, Alaska.  In 2011, the team came in 4th place in the multi-block realistic category in their first competition as a team.  The team was led by Captain Joel McRae, and the sculpture is the Blue Fairy turning Pinocchio into a boy, Title "Star Light, Star Bright."  In 2012, the multi-block team will be led by Captian Victor Dagatan, along with Joel McRae, Jeff Meyers, and Jim Duggan.  The Single Block team will consist of Captian Victor Dagatan and Jim Duggan.  The competition is in late February early March and you can watch the teams progress via live web cams at icealaska.com.  We will be sending out all the information you will need about this year's trip via the newsletter, please join our mailing list if you have not already.
