Side Note / Info
  • For a complete list of results, they are being posted on line at the end of each day of the event at http://www.skatecanada.ca/en.
  • Top 18 singles and Top 12 pairs qualify and will meet again at nationals from Novice level up. 
  • This year the Western and Eastern Challenge has been put together into one event, thus competitors from all across Canada competed together. WO, NO and west are considered Western, CO, EO and east are considered eastern. In the competitive route you go to sectionals first to qualify for the challenge event. You then qualify from the challenge event to go to nationals. There are both pro's and con's with this change.
