Happy belated birthday, Brian!

I've heard about Evgenia's boots problem at Russian Nationals. The year of 2019 is about to end, but this year, there were Jason's accident and Ghislain's passport had been stolen, and to the members of TCC, I guess there were more unexpected troubles which I don't know. I wish them all happiness, health, and the best of luck in the next year, and hope we're able to see a lot of smiles from them

I know many of us have probably already seen these, but to preserve for prosperity:

Jason's IG of the TCC boys at 4CC doing TCC things

and all over Twitter, Yuzu with the rabbit ears during Jason's photo shoot. What a prankster

So happy for Yuzu and Jason And Jun had a great skate as well!

And I know it's been posted a gazillion times, but the video still makes me smile:

Yuzu gathers up the Cricket Boys after the gala for a photo op

Jason was right there, Yuzu and Jun, you must have been blinded by Donovan's bling

Jason and Evgenia will be in Sailor Moon together.

Jason and Evgenia will be in Sailor Moon together.

I've been to KOSE Shinyokohama skate center (it had different name before) once, it was very small rink and also freezing cold but you can see the skaters very close. The show has great cast so I think the tickets will be sold out

Guys, what’s going on with Javi? What treatment is he doing?

A message from the Cricket Club skaters on the cancellation of Worlds:

It's a lovely message though. Yuzu also released a statement (no social media) and of course there was Jason's lovely post.

Kinoshita Group of Japan established "Kinoshita Academy", its general manager is Mie Hamada and Ghislain Briand is listed as the guest coach along with Stephane Lambiel. Their goal is to teach skaters in small group of 10 members or so, and produce Olympic medalists. Rika Kihira, You Young, Vincent Zhou and a few more Japanese juniors and novice skaters have been scheduled to join.

The question is, when can the international cohort all make their way back?

This news has just come in, Rika Kihira will be coached by Brian Orser from new season, but Mie Hamada remains as her main coach. Rika is planning to start skating at TCC as soon as Canada's entry restrictions due to Covid-19 are lifted. Her training bases will be both Japan and Canada.
