Hmmmm….I remember having to really loosen the trucks on quads to get any feeling like the lean of an edge. I’ve been on rollerblades once, and it went well, but I sort of wondered if growing up on quads before changing to ice would make outdoor quads safer.

I am an adult ice dancer who would like something to do outdoors. I thought skating in the greenway paved paths would be good. Which would be more comfortable to use...

Robert Wagenhoffer - got to 6th in the Worlds in both singles and pairs, but no Olympics.

He’s my coach too, and he took me through my Gold Dances (adult track). I’ve loved taking from him.

I just tried the email address for Logan VanSickle above, and it came back “undeliverable”. Does anyone have other contact information for this person or any other contact?

I have my confirmation number for buying the Championship Weekend tickets, but nothing else. They are not in my Ticketmaster app either. How do I find out if I will actually have the tickets I purchased>

I just started using an Apple Watch SE. What is the best sport to use to track a skating practice? They have a Skating entry, but it is really skateboarding. Would the Hockey entry be better, or something like Yoga or Social Dance? Or would any really work since it’s really just going to note...

I think seeing last year’s winner include parts of Yankee Polka and the Blues pattern dances and lots of clean turns and twizzles might have set the bar higher for skating skills.

I called Bell Centre, and I was told that online purchases (which I did) would be automatically refunded to the card used. That was just a verbal, and I don’t know about other type of purchases.

Also, shouldn’t there be a difference between someone choosing not to go to an event for which the bought a ticket and the event not happening?

Evenko is saying there will be no exceptions to their no refund policy. Do people think that will stand or that they will have to cave and refund ticket holders? It does seem unconscionable to not make those of us who bought tickets whole by issuing a refund. It is not up to our discretion if...

NHK made me more confident for H&B. C&P just need a little more seasoning at Senior.

Losing points on Finnstep worries me about C&B, H&B, Gilles and Poirier, and Stefanova and Bukin too. If Sinitsina and Katsalapov remain 2nd, those lost Finnstep points will bear a lot of blame.

For me, as an adult ice dancer in my early 50s, it’s no question that Sheldon is the best by a wide margin. However, Spooner‘s speed, cleanness and difficulty of turns, and relationship to the music are second only to Sheldon among the hockey players.

Does Skate Canada publish any level of tests passed? If anyone sees it published in the future that Sheldon is passing dance tests, please report it here so we can know. Part of me would not be surprised. Just like George Laraque kept figure skating after Battle of the Blades, I would not be...
