2026-27 Canadian Figure Skating

Jazzy and Kiki are the names they use. In one of Anthony Paradis's YouTube videos, Jazmine introduced herself as Jazzy and someone called Kiernan Kiki. Jazzy and Kiki is better than anything fans could make up.

yes, that's right... except that we had been using these names before that YouTube video... so who did it first ? . LOL US or THEM ?

In this document for JGP/Junior International Selection criteria for 2026-27, they list the JGP spots - https://skatecanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-Selection-to-JGP-and-Jr-Int-Comp-EN.pdf

They have Men as being 5 spots and Women as 5 spots when it should be 6 and 4 respectively based on the placements, according to the 2025-26 announcement. The ISU hasn't published the 2026-27 JGP announcement that would have the spot allocations yet, so I have no idea if this is Skate Canada making a mistake or the ISU changed the rules.

It may be that somewhere handed back some women's spots and one of them was allocated to you. I can't explain men's, though, unless there has been a rule change.

By the allocation rules for Singles and Ice Dance, it's only group B (1 spot in 7 events) that can pick up additional spots. They shouldn't have picked up the additional spot for Women by the 2025-26 rules. Canada was group B for Ice Dance, so those 13 spots make sense.

Thank you for this. Lots of novice entries too from Canada! So glad to see Rui Qin back competing. I know he struggled last year and didn't compete at Ontario Sectionals (injured?). He has a great presence on ice so looking forward to his programs this year - actually everybody's programs. Feels like Christmas

So... here is an ice dance breakdown

LaLe = Lauriault Le Gac
F/Z= Fournier-Zhu
RoPo = Robinson-Portz
Bakerie (or LaBakerie for those who insist on putting articles everywhere ) = Lajoie-Baker
Spa = Sandrine Gauthier and Paul Ayer
Alicia's Nose = Alicia and Marko. Okay.. I am kidding about the last one. Let's call them AlMa (soul)

FWIW I’ve always referred to Lauriault/LeGac as the Panthers, in honor of their iconic Pink Panther program.

I do like SPA for Gauthier/Ayer!

I chose to portmanteau their first names because I couldn't do so with their last names.

I hadn't realised Reese was moving up to seniors internationally. I think she would have benefitted from more international experience at junior level because she has struggled in international events despite doing well in many home ones.

It's a domestic competition, so it matches her domestic level. I think she's staying Junior internationally since she is on NextGen, but she is eligible for Seniors now.
