Video of a cute interview with Davey after the award presentation :): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LotChQxXsSs Aww, such nice news! I give Conrad all the credit in the world, he never stopped working hard and trying to improve his skating. That attitude will serve him well in his new career.

Rob Brodie’s latest substack article: A Skate Canada 'state of the union' chat IMHO, this is definitely a good plan. I don’t know if it made the livestream, but during the gala intermission at Nats, Ted Barton and Nam Nguyen were discussing the need for our skaters to compete more often. Nam...

Meant to post when I got back from Calgary, but of course totally forgot :duh:…..Back in the glory days when Skate Canada used to release the location of upcoming events in a timely manner, the in-arena announcer would usually reference the next event at the end of the current event. Now, it...
