2026 Canadian Nationals : Men's Long Program

[RatedPG]

Also, I’m adding Jake Ellis to my Pairs Mens list roster. He joins David S (coming up in the next flight).

Bruce had the best PCS and program for me from the first flight.

David Howes - I wish he stayed in Juniors for this and next season. He is my fave. When Roman retires, he is my next chosen one alongside Anthony

Impressive that the women's Junior champion had a higher total score then the entire first group of men... I know it's comparing apples and oranges, but interesting nonetheless

Haha - that's funny I didn't know Japan had a broadcast of US nationals

And now you know! There's a couple of posts by me about how to access the Japanese broadcast in the "How to Watch US Nationals" thread. I hear there's been some pirate broadcasts using the Japanese feed too!

He ages out of Juniors after this season, so he wouldn't be able to stay in it next season.

She is a phenom though. You also can’t compare them. Different development paths. Girls seem to peak at 15-16 and then just hopefully retain their jumps. The boys progress as they age out to Men

Really?? OMG!! My baby is all grown up now… damn it…. He might get lost domestically now…..
o was thinking he still had one more JGP season

All your testimonials from Yvan Desjardins' students are really great. I realize he had a lot of successful male athletes.

How many men do you think we will have cross the 219 mark here?

I’m thinking 6

In this next flight, JWC battle:
I think I’m rooting for David Bodnar. Even though Anthony, Grayson and I’ll even add David Li are more artistic skaters. He just seems to really want it

I watched that one last night while watching the Ladies free skate.

I have no idea what they are saying, but, I prefer to hear Japanese than Tara and Johnny

Gracie did a good job commentating for the Juniors

The chinese pirate JSport broadcast was the only way I could decently see the first group of Pairs SP until Peacock finally got their *bleep* together.

I hope that Anthony Paradis skate a good FS and somehow I would like that he ditch the triple axel from his program.
We have understand that it's close but not ready for competition.
I better see him with a clean skate than seeing him struggle in the FS just because his focus is to much on the triple axel.

Getting the candles out for David B.

I know. Lia Cho lands 3Aq a few times in practice. But, realized now it isn’t ready for competition and removed it. Anthony should just do 2A and add 3A once it is more consistent.

I like Keegans outfit by the way

Too many skaters to cheer from in this flight.

Let the JWC battle begin…..
We will know after David B.

Exactly ! I said this because I wish to enjoy Anthony FS because he struggle all season with this program and I think it's because of the focus of the triple axel. Remove it ! And, I pretty sure we would see a fantastic program !

Good to see David Li having a good Nationals after his struggles earlier, returning to Connaught was good for him.

That was niceee

Nice - is there any way to link to those posts or something or tell me what form they are in?

What a great skate from David! His jumps and spins are very solid, and I loved his passion in his choreo sequence. He seemed thrilled with that performance!
