Seems they rotate major events between Asia and N America by the year. I wish they would mix it up a little so it would be fairer to skaters as far as travelling is concerned.

Now we just need the location to be announced so our own travel plans can be arranged.

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Canada hasn't hosted the GPF since the 2001/2002 season, so it's been a while! I just hope the location will be within driving distance from where I live.

Thanks you so much Skatefiguring,I so hope to go there, and watch it LIVE. My biggest event I saw to date was the GPF held in Kitchener 2001, where I saw a rehearsal of the 2002 OG.

Oh, goody! Not that i can get there, but it's nice to contemplate a North American GPF. I like that it moves around and gives different audiences a chance. Wonder who will be in it....
