I find it really interesting that Gabby is still skating. I mean she already has World and Olympic medals - what can the future bring for her but more heartache.
Really be interesting to see if Lia and Trennt can keep the momentum going from last year. Sometimes a team comes on strong at 1st only to fade as they push themselves too hard. I think of Julianne and Charlie.

Season debuts for Gabbie and Meddie and others. Looking forward to the weekend.

I checked the entries on the scores page and I'm quite surprised to see so many Junior Ice Dancers, however, I don't remember any of the names?
(Seniors is exactely the other way round )

I recognized a few names from previous years but also a few new teams... I guess some of them are coming from novice.

It seems like CQÉ had way more entries, except in Senior Men haha

except senior pairs and senior women, the two events that might be the most interesting are on the first one

They seem to have scattered events all over the place. Will be fun to try to follow this as well as BC's if so many rinks are involved.

In a few minutes, the junior pairs and senior pairs will be shown on this stream

Lia and Trennt versus Caidence and Raine.

they are very late... juniors on the ice now.

 

[4everchan]

Skate Ontario needs to invest on KnC gear

 

[4everchan]

K/E : i expected a bit better considering their experience.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Ava's and Yohnatan's triple twist is back, and seeing the size of the throw, I'm expecting that to be back to a triple as well by the time their first JGP rolls around

Still love this program for these two

 

[4everchan]

All 3 senior teams on the ice !!!!

 

[peepsquick]

"like a river" ... good choice of music!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Maybe it's just that I've heard this song too much before, but some of those cuts were very jarring. I get that they have to get the length down somehow, but it really took me out of the program.

Triple throw giving them a little bit of trouble for now, otherwise that was a good start of the season for them.

 

[4everchan]

I didn't like this program either (the music). I feel that it's not cohesive and they will need to score well on the elements because I don't think it will upstage some of the other programs we have seen already in the "memorability" department. The step sequence was stellar though.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

"Movement" is just a great song, I think I could enjoy any skating on this music.

Their 2As and the 3ThLo are excellent, let's just not talk about the rest of the elements. Going after Lia and Trennt only served in making their lifts and particularly the death spiral look even more shaky.
