2024 Toller Cranston Award winners

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.

The 2024 Toller Cranston Awards Honour Young Canadian Skaters for Creative Excellence on Ice

Canadian figure skater and Olympic medallist, Toller Cranston, was a pioneer for creativity and freedom of expression in figure skating around the world. His legacy is tangible in the constant innovation in choreography of young skaters who have grown up looking up to him, today.

Cranston’s impact on the next generation of skaters extends past the rink, through the Toller Cranston Memorial Fund and the Toller Cranston Memorial Award, which provide financial support to youth who hold the same artistic qualities as the Olympian.

“Thank you so much for the nomination! I am very grateful for it, and I will continue to make Toller proud with my performance skills!” said Team Canada NextGen figure skater Lulu Lin.

Lin holds the Canadian junior national title, after winning in her category at the 2024 Canadian National Skating Championships and placing in the Top 10 at the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships earlier this year.

“Toller Cranston was such an incredible artist and an inspiration to so many skaters,” said Jake Ellis, a fellow NextGen skater and recipient of the 2024 award. “I will continue to skate with my heart and explore new and creative ways to express myself on the ice. Thank you for your continued support!”
