Thanks for your reports Rosaleen!
Very happy for Vaughn, Cedric, Joey and Maxim (all faves of mine).
Also happy for some local boys- Brennan Martin and Tyler Cochrane have much improved!
for Simon Beaudoin- he's come back from that awful accident and missed the cutoff by less than a point!

Since Rosaleen was able to post quickly, I'll just add some additional comments on specific skaters.
Simon Beaudoin - very nice amplitude and stretch
Gaven Wilder - Music was The Godfather, but the cuts weren't kind to him. It was quite plodding. He must have had some type of costume issue since I caught him pushing up his sleeves at least 3 times during the program.
Jamie Forsythe - really nice positions in his final spin.
Michael Elias - He did this really cool move where he started in a hydroblade position, grabbed the free leg (stretched) and then pulled up into a standing position - very cool.
Cédric Demers - He was in the arena in the morning/early afternoon watching the ladies qualifying and then came up after his skate to watch the rest of the mens.
Brennan Martin - I didn't see a 3Axel either.
William Lindsay - He's got some of the same "chin in the air" in his jumps like Mira - someone needs to break him of that habit.
Kurt Stoll - music is Batman Returns.
Bryce Davison - Combo at the beginning was really nice. Really good speed throughout the program.
Joey Russell - Really nice program, good stretch in his positions. He got a partial standing O from the crowd.
Maxime-Billy Fortin - Nice spring and height in his jumps plus fast rotations. If he can work on the spins, he could be a player.
Sylvain Bouillere - Music is from Edward Scissorhands. The second half of the program was stronger than the first. (I think that he did this program last year as well.)
Vaughn Chipeur - Also had a skid spiral - one of my favorite moves. Wonderful speed throughout. You could tell that this program had been choreographed with COP in mind. Also partial standing O from the crowd.
Aaron Van Cleave - On that xfoot spin, he also varied the speed - slow/fast/slow/fast which was really interesting.
