Hopefully the younger skaters in Canada look further than just the national group of skaters. They need to look at the top juniors and top seniors and strive to reach that level. At least until the level in Canada has improved. Not much incentive to push to get past Lacoste (World #16 past two seasons). It is a long raod ahead for the ladies. They have to push to show that they belong in the top 10. Osmond and the JGP ladies (Seguin, Chartrand, and Daleman) have done well to start that trend after the mess of JW 2011 (Grenier, Najarro) and Senior Worlds 2011/12 (Lacoste, Phaneuf).
Canada needs the kids to keep pushing each other and that will make the next group even better.
