"Nutcracker - A Fantasy on Ice" - a TV movie

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.

Robin Cousins didn't know that this was available on YouTube until SkateGuard tweeted it out.
He said
Had such fun creating this with Dorothy Hamill and Karen Kresge live on stage and then filming it in Toronto. Happy Holidays to you and here's to more SkateGuard Blog in 2021
Robin then provided this image of the actual Nutcracker used in the filming.
