    Novice Champion and junior world medallist Marc Ferland to sing at the 2007 HomeSense Skate Canada International
    Former international skater and 1984 world junior silver medallist, Marc Ferland will perform the Canadian national anthem at the on-ice opening ceremony of the 2007 HomeSense Skate Canada International Grand Prix on Friday November 2, at the Colisée Pepsi in Quebec City. The opening ceremony is scheduled to take place at 2:00 p.m.

    Marc, from Beauport, Qué., has been concentrating on a music career since he hung his skates in the 1980s. Earlier this summer Marc sang at a special show organized for the grand reopening of pavillon de la Jeunesse in Québec City. Other featured performers included Quebec star singer Andrée Waters as well as several Skate Canada athletes including 2004 Canadian Champion Cynthia Phaneuf who skated to Strangers in the Night sung live by Marc Ferland. Click here to read more about Skate Canada athletes who contributed to the grand reopening of pavillon de la Jeunesse in Québec City on July 19, 2007.

    With his silver medal finish at the 1984 World Junior Figure Skating Championships Marc was the highest ranking Canadian male skater in that competition for 23 years. He held this distinction until this year when Patrick Chan stepped onto the World Junior podium to receive his silver medal.

    Representing Club de patinage artistique de Beauport, Marc also competed at the world junior championships in 1983 where he finished in fourth place. At the national level, Marc was Novice Champion in 1982 and went on to win bronze and silver medals at the junior level in 1983 and 1984 respectively.

    Marc Ferland will sing at the opening ceremony

    Pj Kwong pens her thoughts on the shining stars and marquee events in the figure skating world.

    Canada in great shape for next season and beyond
    Monday, March 24, 2008 | 01:57 PM ET

    By this last day at the 2008 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden, all of the technical equipment will have been removed and packed away. This often leaves some rink side seats free for some of the volunteers to finally be able to put their feet up and enjoy some wonderful skating, like Sunday's Exhibition Gala.

    So often the exhibitions feel like an afterthought on the part of the skaters with no attention paid to the routines or how they are presented. This was not the case on this day as the pacing of the show was very fast and it included skaters that had been ranked first to fifth in each of the disciplines. Three Swedish competitors were highlighted and the defending world synchronized skating champions from Sweden - Team Surprise - also performed. All in all it was a very watchable presentation and was the perfect opportunity to see all of the skaters in a more relaxed format.

    On a personal note, and as simply a skating coach and fan, it has been thrilling to be able to have skating made available in Canada this year, especially this year with all of the nation's outstanding success internationally.

    On a professional note, I have been working with a lot of passionate and dedicated people behind the scenes, working on the web and television while never receiving an “eye roll” when I talk about skating. It has been a treat!

    On the health of skating, it's quite a relief to meet and hear from so many fans, especially during the course of these world championships. The questions and comments were great as well as the obvious interest in where we go from here in this sport. With the 2010 Vancouver Games on the minds of lots of skating fans, the evolving story of our athletes and how best to support them in their quest is just beginning. These world championships were significant for a number of reasons, not the least of which was in helping Canada’s skaters feel that through hard work and strong competitive performances they are very much “in the mix” for next season and beyond.

    Next stop ISU Grand Prix Series which starts the end of October with Skate America. See you in the fall!

    Elvis Stojko is in the Building

    By Susan D. Russell with files from Nick Pilgrim

    Two and a half years ago Elvis Stojko abruptly left the building. After performing a routine to Queen's “The Show Must Go On” at the 2006 Mariposa Gala, Stojko, without warning, announced: "And that was my last performance." His words stunned not only the audience but also his long time coach, Doug Leigh.

    Many who knew the man believed it would be his final on-ice bow. The three-time World champion and two-time Olympic silver medalist had made a decision. It was time to pursue a different path in life.

    And it was so fitting that Stojko chose a beautiful summer evening in small town Ontario, where it all began, to bid farewell to the sport he once loved so much.

    Stojko moved to Guadalajara, Mexico where he still resides. “I have been on a pilgrimage the last couple of years. I had to step away from skating completely,” he said.

    But during an impromptu interview at the 2009 Four Continents Championships in Vancouver two weeks ago, Stojko announced he is returning to the spotlight. “I am back on the ice again. I have come out of retirement to do some shows and some touring, stuff like that,” he said.

    Stojko made his international coaching debut in Vancouver, mentoring the po****r young Mexican skater, Humberto Contreras. “I am keeping a low profile, it is all about Humberto,” Stojko said during the competition. “I am just helping out. Coming to Four Continents in my home country is kind of great.”

    The 36-year-old Canadian icon said coaching Contreras is definitely rewarding, “especially when Humberto comes off the ice and he is smiling. I told him my job is to make him the best skater that he can be and to feel good about what he is doing and improve all the time. That is my job as a coach.”

    When asked if he is planning to teach Contreras the quad at some point, Stojko laughed. “It’s one day at a time. We have only been working together for about two months and so far it has been fantastic,” Stojko said. “We need to work on power and strength and just getting the line on the jumps and the spins. We have not even dabbled into working on that other stuff. He is a great student to work with. I have enjoyed every day; it’s been awesome.”

    Conditions at the rink in Guadalajara where Stojko and Contreras train are less than favorable. The ice surface is a mere 50 x 20 meters. “The Zamboni is really old … it is all different pieces. You would not even recognize it (as a Zamboni),” Stojko said. “I even had to stud the tires myself because it is hard to get tires down there – it’s not like they are readily available. We had to fix the conditioner, get the blades sharpened, and fix the water.

    “They only do two or three floods a day on ice that is used for public skating and figure skating so you can get an idea of what it is like,” Stojko continued. “The ice is not level, it kind of heaves in the center. So there are a few issues but we got it up and running to a point where Humberto can train and do his stuff. I said to him ‘well, today we have lemons so we make lemonade.’ But he has done great with the ice and you know it’s just a matter of doing the best with what you have. At Four Continents he did the best he has ever done.”

    Contreras has to sometimes train on ice that has endured four hours of public skating and no flood. “We have to train and it is really hard so we just say this is what we have, let’s make it happen,” Stojko said. “He only gets to train four hours a week and I am trying to get him a sponsor to cut the costs and make it work for him. It is all coming together and to be able to go to Four Continents with him was really great.”

    Stojko and Contreras met a few months ago at the Guadalajara rink. “Elvis came to teach the child of one of his best friends how to skate,” Contreras recalled. “He knew we had a big skating school there so he just came to see if he could get some ice time. Then we had a talk with him and told him we wanted him to see the ice and see the kids and see what he could do for us. I told him I did not have a coach and that if there was a way he could work with me…”

    Stojko had no intention of coaching when he first went to the rink.“ I was just going to help out with the ice and get some ice time for myself,” he said. “But Humberto is such a great guy and wanted to work so bad and was so hungry for it, I said to myself ‘you know what, this is the right kind of kid I would like to work with and help him along the way.’ In the beginning I told him ‘you just have to trust me. You are going to be training harder than you have before.’ But there are no complaints and we are always laughing and joking and having a good time. It has been awesome.”

    Contreras, 25, a Mexico City native, started skating at age 12 after watching the 1994 Olympics. He also coaches at the rink to earn an income. His training time is limited to four hours per week (one hour a day Monday to Thursday). “We are doing a lot in the time we have,” he said. “We don’t really have much ice time so we are doing the best we can.”

    Stojko said he sees similarities between himself and Contreras. “Humberto has this ability to get into focus right away and I am able to hone that with some martial arts skills I used when I was competing and apply them,” Stojko said. “Also, he has a really great understanding of his body and his space so if I am asking him to check a hip or a shoulder he can do it right away without screwing anything else up. He is very body aware which is great for getting the technical stuff done. It is awesome.”

    When asked what was the most stressful, competing or coaching Stojko did not hesitate. “I know a lot of people say coaching but competing is more nerve wracking.”

    Stojko has come full circle. He has resumed training and said he is getting back in shape. “I have had a change in the way I approach skating, a new style and a new vision,” he said. “I did not know if I was going to come back, but I am back.”

    OTTAWA, ON : Perechea canadiana Mylène Brodeur, 23, Stanbridge-Station, Que., si John Mattatall, 28, Wallace , N.S., au decis sa se retraga din patinajul amator dupa 5 ani de parteneriat. Ambii patinatori si-au propus sa se reintoarca la scoala.
    Mattatall s-a inscris la universitatile din Nova Scotia si Quebec si si-a propus sa frecventeze full-time in vederea absolvirii. El va continua de asemenea sa antreneze in domeniul patinajului artistic. Brodeur este inscrisa la un curs de stiinte sociale si doreste sa continue in aceasta directie.

    “Mylène and John have always represented themselves and Canada respectfully and with sportsmanship. As veterans of the national team their experience will be missed and Skate Canada wishes nothing but the best to both athletes,” a spus Mike Slipchuk , director la Skate Canada High Performance.

    Scuzele mele celor doi, nu cred ca i-am vazut vreodata patinand. Foarte bine ca se intorc la scoala, mai ales fata, daca nu doreste sa-si continue activitatea in zona patinajului, trebuie sa stie sa faca altceva.

    Apropo de patinaj si scoala, dar in rest off topic, dupa CM de la Dortmund din 2004, un reporter a stat de vorba cu marea campioana Katarina Witt si una din intrebarile pe care i le-a pus a fost de ce Germania nu are in patinaj rezultatele pe care le-a avut fosta RDG. Witt a raspuns ca ea avea un aranjament cu scoala la care invata, se ducea la scoala de doua sau trei ori pe saptamana si niciodata nu statea la toate orele pentru ca o asteptau antrenamentele, iar clasa o trecea cum o trecea, profesorii inchideau ochii. In timp ce in Germania, copiii trebuie sa se duca la scoala, pe profesori nu-i intereseaza ca un elev doreste sa faca patinaj de performanta, el trebuie sa vina la ore si sa-si faca temele daca vrea sa treaca clasa, iar parintii nu accepta ca fata sau baiatul lor sa se retraga de la scoala pentru patinaj fiindca daca nu va avea succes in acest sport, din ce se va intretine ca adult mai tarziu? Ori dupa ce copilul sta la scoala 8 ore pe zi, timp in care isi face si temele, ajunge obosit la antrenament si nu poate lucra serios mai milt de o ora, iar cu o ora de antrenament pe zi, cum sa ajungi in top?
    Interesant.
