This website appears that it will be the one used for live/unofficial results: https://lamp.skatecanada.ca/alex/cssWeb ... aa95e7223e

The start orders are now available by clicking on the "Segments" button.


It appears from the most recent start orders that the ISU "adjustment" in the upper age limit for the male partners in pairs has allowed Skate Canada to include some additional skaters:
1 Martina Ariano Kent / Charly Laliberté-Laurent Club de patinage artistique de Ville Mont-Royal & Club de patinage artistique de Boucherville

2 Jazmine Desrochers / Kieran Thrasher Skate Oakville & Skate Oakville

3 Ava Kemp / Yohnatan Elizarov Skate Winnipeg & Skate Winnipeg

4 Annika Behnke / Kole Sauve Sherwood Park FSC & Sherwood Park FSC

5 Ashlyn Schmitz / Tristan Taylor Shellbrook SC & Skate Regina

6 Lily Wilberforce / Joshua Dore Kitchener - Waterloo SC & Gloucester Skating Club

I watched all of the NextGen competition - the first two events yesterday (Women & Pairs SP) from home and the remainder live in the arena (on very uncomfortable bench seats). I am very glad that I did, especially getting to see the skaters who are under consideration to be sent to the upcoming JGPs.

It was obviously "early in the season" for some of them but there were also some very good skates. They should all be available on replay.

The final results (based on the combined short & free programs) of the NextGen simulation competition, in the order that the free skates were done today:








Watch for at least some of these names representing Canada in the upcoming Junior Grand Prix events which begin in August.

Photo from Skate Canada from Twitter (OOPS, I guess I should say from X) at the wrap-up of the NextGen camp

That's a wrap on the 2023-2024 NextGen Camp where over 50 from across presented their programs!

I believe the group moved to a different arena or ice surface for the final day of their "camp" - this photo was certainly not taken in the Elizabeth Manley rink on which they competed.
