Mississauga is great for me! It’s a 20 minute drive from my house. I was hoping to go to 2027 nationals regardless of location since I’m off work next year but since it’s local I can make it happen for a lot less money. Woohoo!

That happened in 2022.

I know objectively there was no reason to justify not sending Schizas to worlds (despite an emotional post I made during the Olympics which I now regret). And I'm not going to rehash if anyone would have done better (and there's still the free skate to go). And clearly I've never been top 15 in...

CBC replay of women’s short. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7141646

You can also watch on radio canada (with French commentary). You have to be registered/logged in to watch but the advantage is the live link will work for the replay (unlike CBC where you have to wait for it to be uploaded which is hit and miss). I don't have time to link all of them but here...

Nam Nguyen did in 2014 and Denis Ten actually did it a few times. But it is unusual.

Copying this over from the provisional allotments thread. I'm really interested in going to Lausanne for Europeans in 2027, during my year off from work. I found the website https://www.euroskating2027.ch/ and it says tickets will go on sale spring 2026. With the exception of a couple of times...

Daleman posted an instgram reel of her doing a throw triple salchow with Tristan Taylor with the caption "Getting thrown into next season!" but with a pinned comment "My friend @tristanrtaylor is helping me re-learn pairs! We aren’t partnered up" I did some digging and confirmed that she did...

Shane and Carolane posted on instagram that they are retiring from competitive skating. https://www.instagram.com/p/DV4fxDnjxxe/?igsh=YTB6OXYyNGdwdzA2

Miura and Kihara are off the pairs list.

I didn't mean to be insensitive or offensive with my earlier comment about the worlds spot. Emotions were raw in that moment. Maddie has been our best and most consistent skater for a while now and I have always supported her. I felt so bad when she said "I'm sorry" when leaving the ice. I was...

Maddie did an interview with CBC and she did say that she would come back stronger. So she’s not retiring yet. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU4U9dhDfwh/?igsh=M2d5NDA2cHltbXRx

There are so many good skaters coming up who will be turning senior internationally next season and the seasons leading up to 2030. I think Canada would make good use of a second spot. If one doesn't come this year I'm not sure there is a front runner for 2027 worlds to make it happen for 2028...

Well, let me say I hope they send Gabby Daleman to worlds now.
