Stars on Ice 2021 North American tour

[skategal]

omg....and remember Craig’s gorgeous eyes?!?

I think he had gorgeous everything...

 

[clairecloutier]

ETA: I love that Alexa offered Meagan Chris.

I love this too. Go Alexa!

ETA: I also love that IMG stuck with Meagan and gave her the chance to suggest different partner options after Eric dropped out of the picture. They didn't have to do that. Good for them.

 

[Alilou]

I just bought myself an on-ice/centre seat
I thought about how much I'd enjoy it, and I will, and yes, hoping we snag Patrick in Van. But the tipping point was the idea of seeing Megan and Dylan!

It seems like a really good partnership.

Assuming everything actually goes ahead (fingers crossed, but I really don't want to jinx it!), BF is getting me tickets to the Hamilton show, to make up for my failed birthday present in 2020.

I'm getting my first vaccine this Tuesday, so my 2nd one should be no later than September 18th. Looking forward to actually getting to do something fun!

 

[Dave of the North]

She could have taken the high road and said she was disappointed but wished him well.

Lie back and think of (Skate) Canada, in other words.

 

[Skate Talker]

ok that is weird!! Why isn't he skating with Lubov?

Stars on Ice is a commercial enterprise that wants to hire skaters with name recognition to draw in not only hardcore skating fans. Due to 2018 Olympics Gold team and Bronze individual medals, two World Championships and several Canadian Cahmpionships Meagan has a definite edge - plus she is the one who was under contract with Stars on Ice. Stars on Ice was not reaching out to Dylan + partner to skate in the show.

An article about Meagan Duhamel and her plans to skate with Moscovitch in Stars on Ice:

Duhamel plans for new beginning with Stars on Ice tour

Fall will surely be a season of change for skating star Meagan Duhamel.

[JasperBoy]

I have a soft spot for Dylan, whatever partnership he is in. Knowing that I could see him skate again was what pushed me over the edge to buy a SOI ticket....although not an on-ice seat, alilou!
I still have guilt pangs for not giving him a SO on what was clearly his last skate with Lubov. Maybe I can atone for that next October.

 

[seabm7]

I don't know - maybe the Lake Placid SOI show will happen at the end of December?

But the Lake Placid Olympic Center is in the midst of renovation for the 2023 Universiade.

But the Lake Placid Olympic Center is in the midst of renovation for the 2023 Universiade.

Right. I posted my original comment before I had read about the extensive renovations that are ongoing at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid - links to articles on this topic are in this thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...r-orda-in-lake-placid-ny.106601/#post-6003475

Thanks for the heads up, @victorskid!

SOCIAL MEDIA SUPERSTAR ELLADJ BALDÉ JOINS 2021 STARS ON ICE FALL TOUR

www.starsonice.ca

“I’ve performed all over the world, but I’ve never had the opportunity before to skate in a show in front of my fellow Canadians,” said Elladj Baldé. “Stars on Ice is helping me realize this dream, all while sharing the ice with icons that were big inspirations of mine, like Kurt Browning and Elvis Stojko.”
Also joining this year’s tour is Olympic Bronze medalist, and former Dancing with the Stars contestant Mirai Nagasu. This completes the cast lineup as Stars on Ice returns to the ice in Canada after a 17-month hiatus. The new production, simply entitled “Journey,” will effortlessly glide fans into an on-ice visual exploration of the myriad of feelings experienced over the past year, all while learning to adapt and grow in this new world in which we live.

Meagan D. & Dylan M. recently have begun practicing together: https://www.instagram.com/p/CSNSGncl00a/

Announcement posted on the U.S. SOI website on August 6th:

2021 STARS ON ICE U.S. TOUR DELAYED UNTIL 2022

www.starsonice.com

Stars on Ice has made the difficult decision to delay the return of our tour to the U.S. until after the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

A combination of venue availability and skater competition schedules have made it extremely difficult for Stars on Ice to bring the top American skaters to our fans this fall.

We look forward to launching a full tour next spring in the wake of the ongoing excitement the Winter Games brings to the figure skating world.

 

[kalamalka]

Finally - Elladj in SOI
Rosaleen and I will be so happy to see him in Vancouver.

 

[Alilou]

Finally - Elladj in SOI
Rosaleen and I will be so happy to see him in Vancouver.

And I will be happy to also see you and Rosaleen in Vancouver

 

[kalamalka]

And I will be happy to also see you and Rosaleen in Vancouver

still hoping that there will be spectators at Skate Canada International, too, so we'll have several days of skating to watch that week.

 

[overedge]

Another show that I had/have tickets for has been postponed (for the third time) to the week before SOI in Vancouver.

I'd love to see Elladj and everyone too, but unless things change significantly between then and now, I'm going to limit myself to one mass-audience event around then, and it will probably be the other show Assuming I feel comfortable enough to even go to that one....

 

[puglover]

I have been watching this carefully. To be honest, I love Kurt and Kaetlyn and Meaghan and that is about the extent of my enthusiasm. Now with Elladj I am more interested. It looks like there are still very good seats available here in Winnipeg. I don't want to go by myself and think Mr. Puglover would be less than enthusiastic. Maybe my DIL but then I would probably have to buy an extra seat for her daughter.

STARS ON ICE TOUR MOVES 2021 FALL DATES TO SPRING 2022

STARS ON ICE TOUR 2021 2022

www.starsonice.ca

(Toronto, ON) – In light of the evolving health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 Delta variant in Canada, Stars on Ice has made the difficult decision to move the 2021 tour to Spring 2022. After consulting with local health officials and venues in the tour host cities, a decision was made that assures the best scenario to guarantee the safety of tour staff, performers and attendees. The world’s premier figure skating show is scheduled to resume performances in 12 cities nationwide beginning in Halifax, NS on Friday, April 29th, and wrapping up in Victoria, BC on Saturday, May 21st.
All Stars on Ice tickets purchased from the official ticket agencies for the 2021 Tour will be honored and automatically transferred, with the same seat locations, to the new Spring 2022 show dates. Additionally, all Stars on Ice Meet & Greet passes that were purchased for the 2021 Tour will automatically transfer. Additional ticket information is available by contacting the original ticket vendors.

To purchase tickets and for additional information, please visit www.starsonice.ca. The updated tour dates are as follows:
STARS ON ICE – 2022 SCHEDULE

No surprise that the Canadian Stars on Ice tour has been postponed. People in many parts of Canada are barely willing to dine indoors with limited occupancy at this point so it would be hard to imagine people would be paying to sit in an enclosed stadium with thousands of strangers for 2 plus hours.

 

[victorskid]

Sad, but no surprise.

 

[Jot the Dot Dot]

Ah well, health and safety first!

 

[made_in_canada]

This actually works out much better for me I love going to Vancouver in the spring, and there was no way it was going to work this fall

Are any of these towns close to an airport? I’d love to see the show.

 

[Teenes]

Are any of these towns close to an airport? I’d love to see the show.

Both the Moline show and the Dodge City shows are about 10-15 minutes from an airport. But Dodge City is only served by United flying through Denver. Moline is close enough that the hotels by the arena run airport shuttles. Cedar Park is about 35-40 minutes outside of Austin, while Frisco is about 30 minutes from the Dallas airport. I didn't look into Duluth.

Duluth has a small airport, but you'd likely have to connect through MSP to get there.

 

[Teenes]

Yeah I didn't get the impression that any of the last 3 cities were close to an airport with direct flights from many locations.

BTW just wanted to point out that the show in Manitoba actually has a mostly different cast than the US shows - Kurt Browning, Kaetlyn Osmond, Jeff Buttle, Alissa Czisny. Shawn Sawyer, and Elladj Balde, so far.
