ICE TIME WITH DEBBI WILKES

[FSWer]

Say,I was wondering...is that still on in Canada?

 

[victorskid]

No it has not been on for a very long time.

 

[FSWer]

Gee,I wonder what happened to it. BTW. I just checked,and if you put "Ice Time" in on Youtube you'll see an interview with Kurk Browning.

@FSWer the interview on YouTube is probably a video that someone made from an episode of the show, when the show was still being broadcast.

 

[FSWer]

I'm sure it must be. What happened to the show though? Are there any youtube links to full episodes from when it aired? BTW. what's Debbi doing now?

 

[overedge]

@FSWer the show originally ran on a small cable channel in Canada. That channel closed down. I think the show ended production when the channel closed down. If you Google the name of the show you could probably find the dates.

Debbi Wilkes was working for the Canadian skating federation, Skate Canada, a few years ago. I don't think she is still working there though.

From memory, I believe Debbi did some co-commentary with Ted Barton last year for the ISU Challenger Series - Autumn Classic International.

I'm not sure if she fulfilled that duty again this year, though.

Debbie did commentary with Ted for the live stream of Canadian Nationals last year. iirc she also was a commentator for this year's live stream of the Autumn Classic. I thought I remember her doing commentary with guest Meghan Duhamel but then again my memory isn't what is used to be.

Thank you for jogging my memory. Now I remember watching them commentate on Kailani Craine's programs at the recent Autumn Classic.

I loved their fair and considered analysis, too.

Debbi's book, also called ICE TIME, which I bought about 20 years ago in Vancouver is an excellent ready, too.

At age 72, Debbi is essentially retired but still does some commentary at Skate Canada-organized events.

The one who needs to retire is Rod Black with his silly comments like “Elvis is in the building,” and all of the idiocy about Gogolev last year “He’s 14!!!”
He would have LOVED the ice sweepers at SkAm last week...kids dressed as Elvis.

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

Awwwww. Rod Black is the best.

Last year during Movember, I named mine 'The Ron', in tribute of his infamous former porn-stache.

I think she commentated with Ted at Nationals

I love Debbi. The very first competition I watched on TV was Skate Canada '80.

I liked PJ Kwong too
