2022–23 Canadian Ice Dance: News and Updates

[BlueRidge]

Tessa was uniquely talented. If wholesome. And then there were Kaitlin and Shae-Lyn, both Canadian, neither wholesome (I mean that as a compliment.)

If you mean Kaitlyn Weaver, how on earth was she anything but wholesome (but not originally Canadian!)?

 

[Karen-W]

Are V/M the wholesome ones? The ones with the terrible Moulin Rouge?

I don't see how Tessa, with all her sekret babies, could be considered wholesome, lol.

And the sexy Carmen?

I did (sorry I can’t keep track of the 100 ways to spell her first name.) And Je Suis Malade with the dangling nightie was wholesome? Surely you jest. Kaitlyn was/is sexy.

 

[Bigbird]

Sorensen is sadly not the best skater.

Yes. F/B is hindered by his mistakes in just the same way Alexandra Paul was hindered by Mitch Islam. It just is what it is.

 

[Wyliefan]

L/L are good technical skaters with the charisma of peanut butter and jelly. Davis/Smolkin have a better shot at a Milan medal than L/L do, and that’s not counting other US teams that will be very good by then.

Once again we are in sync! It's like a Vulcan mind meld thing, I swear.

I love Kaitlyn but she always seemed very wholesome to me.

(Not dissing your spelling prowess, you might have meant Kaetlyn Osmond. Kaitlin has the most spellings of any name!)

It’s a good thing we are not hanging out in bars together looking for Prince Charming, we’d pick the same guy.

Anyway apologies to the Canadians for taking over the thread. I’ll show myself out.

I always love these arguments where I learn its the heterosexual lady who knows what sexy in women is.

 

[On My Own]

Why would heterosexual ladies not know what sexy in women is?

They know it from a particular perspective. That doesn't define it however.

If I’m tempted to change teams, she’s sexy. What’s not to understand?

When you change teams let me know.

Meanwhile back to Canadian ice dance, I was going to post a few weeks ago that Lajoie and Lagha were going to be the team that creates the biggest divide between like and dislike on FSU for the next few years. It seems to be trending that way.

They have a big Twitter following, from what I can see. They have had ever since their junior days. I may not be able to see the appeal, but it seems quite a few people can!

For sure but there are those who tend strongly in the other direction. It should be really aggravating fun over the years!

 

[On My Own]

I can't believe someone as boring as L/L spurned this much discussion.

Who would be your idea of not boring?

Wow as it there weren't enough Canadian teams on the international circuit this year, Skate Canada is sending LILY HENSEN / NATHAN LICKERS to the Ice Challenge event. They were 9th at nationals. They don't have an ISU bio though they did get their worlds minimums at the Lake Placid event.

I don’t dislike them - I think they’re really skilled in skating and have a lot to offer. However - for me I have to like the programme for them. I think these ones are ok. For me they need to work on their chemistry together as I sometimes think they don’t feel like they’re skating as 1

hey we did a really good job of directing the thread away from people dissing Nikolai Sorenson

International judges score differently from our domestic judges so some cdn teams have to stay on the farm & do not have the chance to impress international judges.

I'm not sure what you mean...ice dance gets a lot of international assignments compared the other disciplines in Canada. 10 senior teams with challenger and/or grand prix assignments this season. Only 15 teams qualify for nationals so that means 2/3 of the field will have international experience.

You are only talking about this yr. which has barely started. It is about time. Prior only top few teams got international assignments & went to everything.

They just placed 2nd at the ON Sectional Series event to Oliver & Graham and it was very close O & G got 165.96 and H & L got 165.68.

As someone who watched it, I felt the judging of the FD was questionable, to say the least (H/L also had a twizzles error in the RD that cost them 2-3 points).

So Piper and Paul have confirmed they will have an Evita FD.

The RD will be "a more modern take of Latin".
