2025 Skate Canada Int'l in Saskatchewan & 2026 Canadians in Gatineau QC

They wouldn’t let any backpacks into Skate Canada one year in Kelowna. I had to go back to my hotel and leave mine there. Security was very slow that year, too, and I missed some skating in the process. It’s the arena that calls the shots.

I vaguely recall Kelowna reversed their backpack ban midway through the comp. Anyone else remember that?

I do, but by the time I found out, I’d already left my backpack at the hotel, with all of my stuff in my Tilley Vest and jacket pockets.
