The Junior/Novice skaters competing at 2023 Coupe du Printemps were wearing NextGen jackets for their group photo at the event, so will likely be included when Skate Canada makes the team announcement: https://skatecanada.ca/2023/03/three-medals-for-canada-at-coupe-du-printemps/

The NextGen Team Camp/Competition is scheduled for July 22 - 24, 2023 in Ottawa, ON: https://skatecanada.ca/2023-next-gen-team-camp/

Updated entry list:https://lamp.skatecanada.ca/alex/cssWebWidget.html?event=94352bbb-d660-4548-989f-0baa95e7223e

Uliana Shiryaeva has been added in junior women, and Wilberforce/Dore and Schmitz/Taylor in junior pairs, the latter likely due to the ISU altering the age eligibility requirement in junior pair for this season.

Skate Canada is currently sharing a few brief clips from the Next Gen camp that is happening now, following the simulation competition this weekend, on their instagram stories. https://www.instagram.com/skate_canada/
Weird that they haven't actually updated the Next Gen team on their website yet.

Likely waiting for their headshots, which I saw were being taken this weekend

I noticed that not everyone who was invited to compete in the NextGen competition simulation last weekend was named to the 2023-24 NextGen Team (presumably 2023 Junior men's champ Edward Nicholas Vasii did not compete due to injury; Lewis/McMillan were listed as WD in the results) - the ones not included were:
Angelina Guan (finished 6th of 15), Angelina Grant (15th); Shohei Law (placed 11th of 12 men); and the new teams of Wilberforce/Dore (5th of 6 pairs) and Fournier/Zhu (6th of 9 ice dance teams).

I was glad to see that both Angelina Guan and Shohei Law are listed among the junior entries for the Cranberry Cup International next month at least.

NextGen Team members listed for Cranberry: David Bondar, Terry Jin, David Li; Abbie Baltzer, Breken Brezden, Kara Yun.
