This is the Skate Canada carding document for 2025-2026 (the carding cycle is July 1 to June 30). https://skatecanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025-2026-Skate-Canada-Carding-Criteria-EN.pdf

Yes, I have a pretty good understanding of the current carding rules based on my involvement in gymnastics and this is basically correct. I personally think all NSOs should be required to publish their list of carded athletes as it's funded with federal money. It seems ridiculous to me that you...

In the past, no, at least not published on the Skate Canada website. I'm thinking of Pineault who was a sub at SCI (and was also named to the 2020 world team) who was never named to the national team. There have always been skaters who were not named to the national team who get international...

The criteria has been the same for about six years now and Ruiter didn’t meet it.

It's been a while but yes it used to be the top 5. I think they changed it after 2018. We'll see if the women's TDB for Skate Canada International gets added to the national team.

Daleman posted a clip from her skate at Broadmoor. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLViBz_pAFD/?igsh=MXBrNnF4dzAwc2YxNw== She said she will be competing next in Philadelphia.

Thanks for sharing that. I heard she was entered at Broadmoor. It looks like she's on track to get the target score for an international assignment (which is 166 for the senior women at domestic events).

Thanks for posting that @shutterbug I'm really pulling for Brezden to get the TBD at Skate Canada International.

Oh I would love to see her in the mix.

So the grand prix assignments are out. I was hoping they would not assign Schizas to SCI in order to open up an extra host pick. However Medland-Spence was assigned NHK - I was hopeful she would get a non host pick after winning Warsaw last year so I was pleasantly surprised by this! Schizas and...

Medland-Spence got NHK and they saved a women’s host pick for SCI! But there is no TBD for the men and no assignment for Chiu.

Chiu had surgery on his ankle. He posted an update on instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKcxmERSsNX/?igsh=MXNvcWM1anVsMHJw
