Someone posted a 39 minutes clip on Stars on Ice, but I cannot watch it due to copyright blocks:

...There is no marking on the ice. This must be Hamilton.
Are there any videos out there of Elvis' fall? Sounds bad...hope he's ok!!
Yes it did...thank-you so much...got to see my favs first number (Luba&Dylan) as a bonus. so appreciate it...Wish the show was coming to MTL....
Elvis update! Just after 10 pm last night, Canadian men’s figure skater @elvistojko fell and hit his head during additional filming of an “Investors Group Stars on Ice presented by Lindt” television special following the tour performance at the FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, Ontario. According to Byron Allen, Producer of Stars on Ice, “Mr. Stojko was assisted off the ice, but under his own power. An ambulance took him to Juravinski Hospital for evaluation. He was accompanied by his wife Gladys and the tour physiotherapist. Thankfully, doctors at Juravinski Hospital diagnosed Mr. Stojko as concussion-free, at which point he was released. As a precautionary measure, Elvis will not be skating in the tour’s 4:00 PM performance today at the @budweisergardens in London, Ontario.” Heal quickly & fully Elvis!
Thanks for that memory! I was there too in Hamilton for '93 Canadians, and the atmosphere for the men's warm-up and final group was just electric. Bought a ticket from a scalper to upgrade my seat for the men's event, and it was so worth it. Hope Elvis has a quick recovery; it's great to see him and Kurt still out there doing what they love.Kurt asked the Hamilton crowd who was at the rink in '93 to see him skate with Elvis. It got a big reaction. He then went on to imply his decision to skate the entire tour this year was because Elvis had already agreed to return. Truly hope Elvis is okay and able to return. I was there in '93, it was magical.
Oh wow - the unexpected falls are always the ones that skaters seem to get hurt the most onI took some video during the reskates only. Here's Elvis' fall where it appears he hit a rut while merely turning on both feet.
