Remembering great Canadian skating moments

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Remembering great Canadian skating moments

Post by Elizabeth »

Dylan and Asher of "That Figure Skating Show" attempt to name the Best Canadian Skates of all time for CBC Sports:

There are so many that I could name, including several that I witnessed in person.

Do you agree with the choices of Dylan & Asher?

What others would you add?

I would have included Tracey Wilson & Rob McCall at the 1988 Olympics.

Me too, Fred. I can also think of several others but I'm hoping to hear from some other folks too :P

I’m overwhelmed just thinking about all the amazing skates we’ve seen over many years. ( Lucky Elizabeth was at 1984 Worlds to see Barb and Paul). I didn’t start attending events until 1988.

Once I get past my 4 year US politics addiction, I’ll give it a stab. It will be a good “recovery” exercise for me. :)

Yeah Elizabeth, there are a few others, not that you mention it.
