this is very unfortunate. I hate when skaters get hurt before the season even begins. This means they are out of the GPF. Hope they get well soon for Nats and Worlds.
Yes but as I said to you earlier it's been a horrible year for Skate Canada with all the retirements .. they've virtually been left with no big names (one of the reasons why I think they waited this long to admit that V/M are no longer competing next week). I'm thinking that the arena might be pretty empty.

Canadians are some of the greatest skating fans ever...I can't imagine the rink will be empty. I do feel bad for the fans who came to see their favorites. My faves are Davis/White and I wish I could be there to see them (I'm an American and can't afford the trip this year). I would have enjoyed seeing V/M as well (they are my second). It will still be a great event.
So sorry to hear of Tessa's injury, I had the same thing years ago and believe me, it's painful. I don't know how she's been skating. Hopefully her recovery will be complete.

It's a huge NHL hockey rink though unless they close sections off. I was a bit surprised that they were holding it in that size of arena. We're looking at 18000 seats plus box office seats.
My thoughts the same. I didn't buy tickets/am not going, but ... hmmm.... wonder if they could convince Scott (Tessa needs her rest - recover soon!!!) to show up at the arena for at least a meet/greet... for ticket paying fans, it would be the least that Skate Canada could do. Am assuming this opens up a slot for another Canadian team at least.
I went "Huh!?!" when I heard about Scotiabank Place being the venue for the exact same reasons too. Skate Canada has been constantly saying the last few years they don't want to use arenas this big and then go and book SC (the event) in such an arena!?!
That's a shame about Tessa. I wish her a very speedy recovery!!

Obviously it's not the lineup that was originally planned, but unless more people have withdrawn that I'm not aware of, I don't think Skate Canada has "fallen flat". There are some very good skaters in the ladies' event, with a Canadian contending for the top of the podium; Patrick Chan and Evan Lysacek in the men's, and there's Dube/Davison, of course, in the pairs - the World bronze medalists, where they were stunning. The ice dance does appear a bit thinner than in some of the other Grand Prix competitions, but there's still plenty for fans to look forward to.

That's so sudden, I've never heard about Tessa having any injury. Hope she recovers really soon! Does this mean no GPF for them?
This is so unfortunate. I was so looking forward to seeing V/M and L/H skate.
