Does anyone know where you would find the list of entries? and how many spots does Skate Canada have at this international?

Official site: http://www.stll.fi/finlandia_trophy/
Someone in Finland mentioned on FSU that some names may become known by next week perhaps.
From the Announcement:
The Organizer will preferably accept skaters and couples having taken part in the finals of the Senior
or Junior ISU Championships of the last two (2) seasons. The Organizer reserves the right to limit the
number of entries. The Organizer confirms the accepted skater(s) after the closing date for entries. A
maximum of 20 Ladies and Men and 12 Ice Dance couples will be accepted.
Virtue/Moir have stated in an interview with PJ Kwong that their first competition would be in Finland, so presumably......
Chock/Bates also stated in an interview with Lynn Rutherford that they were shooting for Finlandia as their first international competition, so presumably.....
According to Marina Zoueva, Virtue & Moir, the Shibutanis and Pechalat & Bourzat are planning to compete at Finlandia.
KKonas:
Thanks for the latest info. I am particularly pleased to know that the Shibs are planning on competing at least one international event before the GPs. Since their GP assignments are back to back (COC & NHK Trophy), they won't have time to improve in between the two GP events.
KKonas, thanks!
How does Marina know about P/B plans?..Originally Posted by KKonas
When did she said this?
Pechalat & Bourzat train in Bloomfield Hills, Detroit, assume she knows what is going on in her area re dance.
At the Canadian High Performance Camp.
Entries are up:

Edit: I just read that Laura has injured her foot but it's not very serious.

Ice Dance have quite a lot of big names: Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir, Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte, Maia Shibutani/Alex Shibutani, Ekaterina Pushkash/Jonathan Guerreiro, Madison Chock/Evan Bates, Kristina Gorshkova/Vitali Butikov and Penny Coomes/Nicholas Buckland. No Pechalat/Bourzat as rumored, though...
Any predictions?
That's because the French Masters are at the same time. I don't know why Marina Zoueva ever started this rumour, it was obvious that they would go to France instead of Finland.
I can't wait to see V/M live!!
I am very curious to see what Elena Glebova and Valentina Marchei will look like after their coaching changes, especially Valentina. And Fumie is there too, wow.
Marina Zueva didnt said anything - just internet rumors
This will be strong competition in ice dance. And happy to see AZE Zlobina Yuliya - Sitnikov Aleksey in the list.
