Two of my granddaughters would join you in the search. The unofficial Nathan Lickers Fan Club. They do both dance, but not to his level, and they're at uni in Scotland with no interest in devoting their own lives to skating. But they'd be very tough on any candidates who wanted to try out with their favourite

Sad Romsky has retired
GoGo - Solid with a chance to make it to GPF due to his consistency
Wesley - Hurrah
Aleksa - Well deserved

Perfection. I really thought Maddie and Gabby would be given the Skate Canada spots. I was so happy to find out they gave Fee Ann this spot instead. This allows more ladies international exposure. As for the TBD spot, let the best one that skates domestically earn that spot.
Pairs
Lia/Trennt have an opportunity to make GPF.
Ava and Yohnathan I expected
I was shocked Jazmine and Kiernan got an event.
The TBD spot should go to Fiona and Loucas.
Dance
Which one of these teams will be our best. My money is on LaBakerie
Very intriguing season for Canada
. I guess they took their chances with their silver at j worlds. The number of pairs that have retired or split was an incentive for them... and the new rule. Without the three jump combo in the FP, they can do 2a+2a for their combo which they already can do and use a 2s as a place holder. At some point, they will need to do a 3s or a 3t but they no longer absolutely need to learn two triple jumps. In the SP, some teams have done 2a over the years.. not in the top 5 but stil. The difference is about 1 point in base value and considering their very strong twist and lifts, they can survive.
I wasn't. Jr Worlds medalists are automatically included in the selection pool and with so many retirements and/or splits, they really had to dig deep to find enough teams to fill the events. I think there are only 7 teams on the alternate list right now, and all of them already have one assignment, so...
I'd personally love to see Miyu and Tristan get the host spot. She is just a ray of sunshine and they've been doing pretty well domestically.
I am confused. I can see how Ukraine may have given Canada some spots in dance... but I don't get how we get these results in singles.JGP selection criteria is up now - https://skatecanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-Selection-to-JGP-and-Jr-Int-Comp-EN.pdf
Looks like 13 spots for Ice Dance from the initial 7. But 5 each for Men and Women when it should be 6 and 4 respectively from previous criteria
Same - Miyu & Tristan (164.59) were quite close at Nationals to Desrochers & Thrasher (166.71).
Yep, they were definitely on the same level as D/T, and I honestly wouldn't have protested if they had even placed ahead of them at Nationals.
David placed 14th at junior worlds which gives 5 spots for men (on last years criteria): chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://isu-d8g8b4b7ece7aphs.a03.azurefd.net/isudamcontainer/CMS/Fansite/Figure-Skating/2024-2025/Events/Junior-Grand-Prix/Documents/JGP-General-Announcement-2025-26-Final-1747045771-836.pdf He would have needed to place 7-10 for 6 spots. It looks like you have been allocated one extra ladies spot.JGP selection criteria is up now - https://skatecanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-Selection-to-JGP-and-Jr-Int-Comp-EN.pdf

The placement goes by country, he was in the 7-10 range for that. Table A from the 2025-26 announcement shows that with China, where they weren't in the top 10 in 2025 JWC but had 6 spots from their result there.
JGP allocations are based on country placement, not absolute placements of the skaters. With 8 of the top 10 placements occupied by three countries, David placing 14th makes Canada the 9th highest placed country.
) = Lajoie-Baker Let's call them AlMa (soul)
I doubt it would be considering Hannah is already Canadian and even represented Canada before.
Well, there were 6 U.S. pairs teams on the GP last season, and 5 of those teams are now missing on the assignments list due to rules changes, plus 4 splits (several repairings) and 1 probable retirement. Those developments opened up spots.
