Skate Canada has a page on their website with links to their selection procedures for a number of international competitions including the 2026 Olympics: https://skatecanada.ca/community/athletes/selection-criteria/

The Olympic selection document can be downloaded from there:

Not quite about selection, but what do you all think about the Canadian Olympic team gear (it was on Piper‘s instagram). I like the design but everything looks so bulky on these athletes. But I guess oversize is a thing. And the kit is more made for Corttina than Milan temperatures.

A news story that includes images of the uniforms (and of Piper and Paul):

The Team Canada athletic ensemble for the Olympics looks a bit darker than in years past.

I like the ice coloured stuff but must admit I prefer my Salomon 17 piece we get from the organizers better! Our colours are awesome the navy and teal and not bulky at all so this short plump woman appreciates that. Fortunately I don’t think we have any Canadian athletes with my body type lol

I love that the two patches make the elongated maple leaf seem like the eyes of a cartoon character, a la Big Bird.
