This SCI 2019 fluff where the Canadian ice dancers (including Haley & Nikolas, of course) are tested on how well they know their partner is very amusing : https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nmcz9

Jan. 2019 -The following is "bonus material" that was filmed by TSN, but not aired during the Nationals television broadcast (as far as I know---I don't actually have TSN). It was made available only in 540p.
Favourite Emoji Fluff: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x70s7qr It's 32 seconds longer than the 2018 SCI version.

Now that they have their own Fan Fest, here are a few 2018 SCI fluff pieces that they appear in:

SCI Video Essay (720p): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6x2mhx


Although the following segment was filmed by TSN, it was NOT broadcast during SCI, so it's essentially "bonus material." It was made available only in 540p.

They appear in a couple of fluff pieces from the Canadian Championships:

Thank you!

 

[siberia82]

Mamma Mia! and ABBA!

2019 SCI RD (TSN 720p):





Am I the only one who's envious of Nikolas' hair? I find myself wondering what conditioner he uses because his beautiful mane is so fluffy.

 

[siberia82]

2019 SCI FD (No Commentary 1080p): [Dead link]

I wasn't able to find a good quality TSN/CTV video of their free dance, which is why I'm offering the No Commentary one.

 

[siberia82]

This SCI fluff where the Canadian ice dancers (including Haley & Nikolas, of course) are tested on how well they know their partner is very amusing :





The following segment wasn't broadcast on TV, so it's bonus material.

SCI Q&A Fluff :

 

[siberia82]

I finally obtained a video of their SCI free dance with Canadian commentary, and it's at 59 frames per second to boot (higher frame rate = smoother graphics).

They appear in this SCI Opening Montage (TSN 720p): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nya0c



This is not the exact promo of Haley & Nikolas which was aired on Canadian TV, but I don't have the real deal (at least not yet), so this alternate version will have to do for now: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nyd4u

SCI Free Dance & Ladies LP Opening Montage (720p): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7nydwz I'm not sure if this clip was televised, or if it's just bonus material.



I forgot to mention in my previous posts that they achieved Personal Bests in the RD, FD and total scores at this competition.

 

[siberia82]

Haley & Nikolas are the Skate Canada Challenge champions!

I now have the ability to download the fluffs and interviews on TSN.ca (although the original files are still only 540p), and these are the clips that feature Haley & Nikolas:


Eager to Show Everyone What They Are Capable of Interview: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7qw5il

Q&A Fluff: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7qw5r6 (It's the same as the 2019 SCI version, but this video is of higher quality because it's a direct download instead of my previous screen recording.)

Ice Dance Partners Quiz: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7qwq0z (This is slightly different from the 2019 SCI version because it also includes Soucisse & Firus, but Haley & Nikolas appear less often to make room for a fourth team.)

Who Has the Worst Fashion Sense Fluff: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7qzyuc

Who Eats the Weirdest Food Fluff: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7qzz05

Who Is the Smartest Person Fluff: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7r14to


I don't have TSN, but to the best of my knowledge, with the exception of "Smartest Person", none of these clips were aired on Canadian television.

 

[siberia82]

They have been assigned to the Bavarian Open: https://www.bev-eissport.de/download/BO2020Entries_0.pdf

This "Women SP + Rhythm Dance Montage" wasn't shown on Canadian television, as far as I know (720p): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7rhqj5

 

[siberia82]

My belated congratulations to Haley & Nikolas for winning the bronze medal at the Bavarian Open , and here's my non-YouTube link of their FD that I've cut from the archived livestream (720p):





I don't have their RD because Saturday's livestream wasn't archived (I was hoping it would show up by now, hence my delay in making this post), but luckily someone on YouTube made a screen recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apf7atwVGsk

 

[dorispulaski]

Thanks so much for these! I added the Bavarian Open vids to the OP.
