Skater/Coach sightings & Montreal activities, meet-ups, etc.

[SaSherka]

Passed by Weaver & Poje on the concourse.

Saw Brian Orser walking outside the arena. He was moving really quickly - seems his hip surgery was a great success. And he looks fit and fabulous!

 

[Lanie]

Loena and Isabeau at the hotel. Also Kirsten Moore-Towers.

Bruno Massot at the hotel bar with a few people.

I went with @Firedancer to get a drink!

No overhead lifts!

No overhead lifts!

Mark Ladwig isn't here to pick me up so I think I'm okay besides there'd be no room

 

[AnnM]

Saw Terry Gannon as he was arriving to the pairs event. We both skipped the early groups lol.

Saw KMT and Andrew Poje with a group on the concourse multiple times and Elladj taking a photo with a young fan. And of course, Kaitlyn Hawayek DJ'ing!

WARNING: If you pre-printed paper tickets before this morning your ticket may not scan for entry!
Apparently, there is some sort of ticketmaster issue, and if you printed paper tickets for today-Sunday prior to this morning, the barcode will not scan. You have to line up at the box office to get your tickets reprinted.
I had to get mine all reprinted. Made it to my seat just as the first warmup group took to the ice.

We just saw Emily Bratti/Ian Somerville on St. Catherine’s Street shopping.

My DH recognized them as “skaters” due to their size and wearing team USA jackets.

I had no idea who they were though but I’m sure they knew we knew they were skaters but I kept saying “I have no idea who” so wasn’t about to ask.

I had to google. To be fair, Emily is blind now and it was throwing me off. Haha.

You meant blond, right? Or the RD is going to have the most exciting diversity inclusion since Diana Davis had a slight hearing issue!

 

[Anemone]

I was told by someone on the concourse this morning that they are going to open more concessions/restaurants today.

That would be a real life Ice Castles.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Donovan came and sat right in front of me for a few minutes!

The two guys sitting next to me are maybe something to do with the Mexican fed, because they seem to know him. They weren't sitting here yesterday, so I assume they're just here for the men.

Yes blonde haha. Stupid autocorrect. Although that would be a real life version of the movie Ice Castles. Lol.

 

[skategal]

Today I’ve seen Piper and Paul and Charlene and Marco.

Just have to see Maddie and Evan and I’ll have the Holy Trinity of Ice Dance.

Rode the elevator up to my hotel room with Tara and Johnny. I never, ever ask for selfies, but I figured what the hell, I’m trapped in here with them anyway. Johnny was so nice and joking. He made me promise to heavily filter the photo Tara obliged, but was indifferent.

You should tell them you're famous because you are in Toller's book.

 

[Firedancer]

Keegan and Nam are about 5 rows behind me with a giant flag

The flag on top of the covered seats?

 

[Lanie]

Yup. Kaetlyn too!

 

[Firedancer]

No they are in section 115 about half way up. Kaetlyn Osmond is there now too

 

[Firedancer]

At the Fairmont bar with @Lanie. Met Spencer and Emily in the hall. So far, Andrew Poje, Jeff Buttle, Joannie Rochette and Kirsten Moore-Towers are here. Also saw Alex Johnson and Jean Luc Baker.

ETA: we should have the next FSU meet up here.

Bar+FSU meet up? I like the sound of that

Saturday night maybe?

 

[Lanie]

@Firedancer and I got to congratulate Deanna right before we left!

I’m down for a Saturday night bar evening

 

[Firedancer]

Saturday night maybe?

I think we should plan on this.

 

[AnnM]

Ran into Terry Gannon yet again, holding the door open for him behind me as we were exiting after the men's SP. He did say "thank you" softly, but didn't become my bestie so yay/boo.

 

[cygnus]

I was in a concession line, or rather trying to find the end of the line to line up, as it was unclear who was in line and who was trying to walk by. I asked the guy in front of me if he was in line- he turned around and laughed and said no. It was Alexei Urmanov.

 

[my3sons]

If you see Terry Gannon I’m sure he will be happy to discuss NC States ACC win!

 

[Firedancer]

I met Solene Mazingue walking around on the concourse prior to ice dance today

 

[Lanie]

Katia Gordeeva, David Pelletier and Katelyn Osmond chatting on the concourse. Ran into Ben Agosto, too.
