2019 Skate Canada High Performance Camp

[danafan]

It's going on now. Nothing on the Skate Canada website but there are some clips in their Instagram stories. Hashtags are #HPCAMP19 and #CAMPHP19 - but they don't lead to any posts yet. Presumably the TBDs for pairs and ladies for SCI would be there, so I'm hoping for clues!

Golden Skate has been tweeting from HPC for the last few hours:

The team outfits are much-improved from last year, thankfully.

I'd expect the TBD for pairs will be Walsh and Michaud.

@Skate_Canada, in its Instastories, has a bunch of (soundless) snippets of different skaters and teams performing bits of their programs. There's a very brief clip of Piper and Paul doing what I guess is their RD; it looks too jaunty to be their FD!

Mack and Mabel for RD
Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell) for FD (curious to see what they do with this because at this stage it sounds like a sleeper to me :/ )

They might be hoping Walsh and Michaud pick up another GP else where. They are pretty high up the list.

KMT with the forced smile of someone who didn't know that bringing her dogs to the camp was an option.

Marjorie posted a brief clip of Piper and Paul's free dance.

Hey, she knows where the real interest is.

One of the Team Canada stories had the ladies on the ice - I could only see three. I wonder if Mallet will get the Skate Canada assignment. I haven't seen any hints from social media that any other women are there.

They all look and sound great and my heart swells with pride. All the very, very best to them!!

I feel like in the past, if they hadn't named the TBD spot yet, those skaters weren't at HPC. I might be remembering wrong though.

There are a few interviews on Skate Canada’s YouTube channel.

@Skate_Canada and @TeamCanada have lots of video from today's trust-building exercises in their Instastories.

"Why are we spending time building trust between people who either don't compete together or compete directly against each other?"
"Shut up -- that's why."

TSN is there filming different fluff pieces with the skaters.
