The Smucker’s Stars on Ice tour has it promotion engine in full gear. The tour has announced it will have three of "America’s leading Olympic medal contenders" -- 2009 World champion Evan Lysacek, 2006 Olympic silver medalists Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto; and 2006 Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen -- on its 2010 tour.

They will be joined by 1996 World champion Todd Eldredge; and Michael Weiss, a two-time World medalist, as well as "several medalists" from the 2010 U.S. Championships, the 2010 World Championships and the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

The Stars on Ice tour was founded by 1984 Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton who still produces the show. In 2010, this award-winning production will be moving its dates to the spring in order to showcase the world’s best figure skaters at the top of their form.

The 2010 tour will kick off April 1 in Fort Myers, Fla., and will visit 40 cities across the United States, coming to a conclusion with a grand finale May 30 in Portland, Ore. Visit www.starsonice.com for more info.
