Fred's, (Used to be Barb's), Board

The following is from the Skate Canada news release about the Four Continents Championships.

Alaine Chartrand, 21, Prescott, Ont., is the first of three Canadian entries in ladies. This will be her fifth time competing at this event; she placed 11th last year. Chartrand placed fourth at the 2018 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships. The four-time Canadian medallist is coached by Joanne McLeod.

Say WHAAAAAAT???????? I hope this is an error in the material. It wouldn't make sense to me, since Joanne is in Vancouver, and the Canadian Nationals were only a few weeks ago. I guess we'll see who's at the boards with her at 4CC. I fully expected she would retire at the end of this cycle.

I understand that Joanne has been seen with her in Taipei - Joanne is there with Kevin, of course.

Perhaps Alaine had a "try out" in Vancouver and stayed there after Canadians?

Looking good, seems to be more confident.
