look at Meagan and Patrick : WOW https://www.instagram.com/p/BU0v9O9Bdwh/

(thanks vivley for sharing this)

I lve the friendships and camaraderie of our present national team. No wonder Patrick missed it and wanted to return. Let's enjoy this current crop for as long as we can. They have been tremendous ambassadors for the sport and for Canada.

RoNam is still going strong https://instagram.com/p/BU0YIroBLQr/

Also Roman must be approaching Lysacek's height these days, he's clearly way taller than Nam now.

I don't know if Nam has stopped growing, but Roman is definitely taller than 5'11" now. Lysacek is 6'2", and Nic is 6'1", so do you think Roman will end up taller than Nic?

Nic, Roman & Conrad are some of the tallest skaters out there for sure! I think they are all pretty close in height and at least 6' by now

Isn't that Nathan Chen in the picture with them? He's in his skates and those boys still tower over him...

Yes, that's indeed Nathan; I'm guessing he's wearing his skates because he doesn't want to look too short. A couple of comments crack me up: "Roman is so tall compared to the rest of you guys hahaha" and "Since when is Roman 8 feet tall?"

Kaetlyn raced Meagan up the rock climbing wall in Calgary: https://twitter.com/mhjd_85/status/870488657395802112/video/1

What a great time they all must have had at skating camp.

Exciting few days it's been in Canadian Skating.

Montreal is hosting 2020 Worlds at Bell Centre. Largest NHL rink and Canadian rink, home of the Habs who'll be on a week-long road trip in March 2020. It will be a cracking event. Who's already planning to go?

Skate Canada hosted its annual Ice Summit

Oh, that's unusual because he usually keeps a program for two seasons. I was expecting he'd use "Exogenesis" again (I love that routine soooooo much ), but hopefully the new SP will be even better.

WeaPo are in the Detroit area, I can't say why, but they're here.

Oh dear - stalking or mauling is against the law in the US lol.

What does DEV stand for on this 2017-2018 Sport Canada Carding Nominations list, and if a skater/team is listed as an Alternate, what exactly are they an alternate for? https://info.skatecanada.ca/hc/en-ca/articles/205362874-Sport-Canada-Athlete-Assistance-Program-Carding-List

mango knows all of this...

but i think DEV means development team.... so these get partial funding....

ALT : means that if an athlete retires, the alternate gets their funding.

I think that's what it is but I am ready to stand corrected

SWEET JESUS ON A CRACKER! Why didn't you PM me with this vital piece of information?! Or is it because you're already on your way down there?!

Stalking and mauling?! Oh heavens no! You've got the wrong idea! I'm only going there to find him and marry him, silly!
