I've closely followed canadian skating for the past 40 years, and I think our current state is about as low as it's ever been during that long span. Way back when, we could always count on the mens and pairs to have medal/title contenders, but it seems to me we have no such contenders going into next year (assuming Piper and Paul retire). Looking at each discipline, I am excited to see how Madeline continues to develop, and I like there are several up and coming men with skating talent and multiple quad potential, but do we have any pairs with the "it" factor, and the same for dance?
