Welcome! I am also a long-time fan, but somewhat new here.
I can believe what you are saying. Very interesting that they could be sending Nam Nguyen now, instead of, say, Elladj Baldé. Do you happen to have a published/printed source handy, where they name (some of) the Canadian male skaters who would be attending Worlds? I assume that Liam Firus would be attending...
I wish Patrick Chan all of the best for whatever things he decides to do in the future, both inside and outside of figure skating. He is special...
Wait...isn't Nam Nguyen like a junior skater? Do does that mean he'll have to go senior in the next year?
I don't think Nam is ready for the senior ranks yet, he'll be buried alive :'(
