A new season is here so I thought I'd start the next thread for the Canadian ladies.
The big news is that world champion Kaetyln Osmond is taking the grand prix season off. I hope she will come back for nationals/worlds. It would be great to keep three ladies spots for 2020 worlds in Montreal.
Grand Prix assignments are out. Gabby Daleman got Skate Canada and NHK. Alaine Chartrand and Larkyn Austman were assigned Skate Canada. To be honest, I was hoping they would leave a TBD for Skate Canada and see if anyone shows well in the summer.
The first three JGP assignments were posted on Skate Canada's site today. Aurora Cotop (JGP Slovakia), Alison Schumacher (JGP Austria), and Emily Bausback (JGP Lithuania). This is the third JGP season for Bausback and second for Cotop and Schumacher (third season of junior international competition for Cotop).

Canada should have three spots at the Vancouver JGP that aren't assigned yet, and one spot at JGP in Slovenia according to the ISU announcement.
Several top skaters are scheduled to compete at summer competitions including Minto and Quebec Summer skate. These events should help decide some other international assignments.
I noticed on instagram https://www.instagram.com/kimmie_skate/ that 2014 junior Canadian champion Kim Deguise-Léveillée has relocated to Oakville. I wonder who is coaching her? She was sixth at 2018 nationals, the highest finisher who did not get an international assignment that season and I felt she was overlooked.
Of course I'm very curious to see how Chartrand rebounds this year, and who her coach(es) will be.
And I have tickets for the Autumn Classic so I hope to see a few of our Canadians skate there!
Let the new season begin!
