Chronicles Of The Capital: Better To Be Lucky And Good

Chronicles Of The Capital. An 'alternative' view of HomeSense Skate Canada International 2008 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. Saturday, November 1, 2008. Better To Be Lucky And Good. Sometimes, you just know the gods are smiling down upon you. Used a couple of different analogies to describe it, but that's essentially the way the young man from Toronto (via Ottawa) put it after he squeaked out a HomeSense Skate Canada International triumph with nary a clean triple Axel on his scorecard. I'm happy but at t...

Chronicles Of The Capital. An 'alternative' view of HomeSense Skate Canada International 2008 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. Sunday, November 2, 2008. Thank You, Ottawa . Next Stop, Kitchener. It's never easy saying goodbye. But the blog, as it always must, shuts it down when the lights go out on the competition. And so it is with the 2008 HomeSense Skate Canada International, which wrapped up a frenzied run at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa a little more than an hour ago. The world figure skating championsh...

Chronicles Of The Prairies. An 'alternative' view of the 2009 BMO Canadian Figure Skating Championships in Saskatoon. Friday, January 16, 2009. One For The Home Team. Now on the ice, representing Saskatchewan . After that, it was pretty much a blur for. The home province kids and the clear favourites of the Saskatoon crowd during the early stages of the pairs short program Friday night at the Credit Union Centre. The 21-year-old Swiegers was equally taken aback. We always knew it was going to be a good h...

Chronicles Of The Prairies. An 'alternative' view of the 2009 BMO Canadian Figure Skating Championships in Saskatoon. Sunday, January 18, 2009. London Calling Us Next. What a scene it was late on this Prairie evening. CBC's coverage of tonight's men's free skate, of course. Wasn't enough that we'd already seen it live. We just had to hear what. Had to say about it all and had to know how the people at home saw it unfold. But admittedly, there will be a few days of withdrawal ahead. We may well see grande...

Chronicles Of The Capital. An 'alternative' view of HomeSense Skate Canada International 2008 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. Saturday, November 1, 2008. Wish You Were Here. All eyes are naturally pointed toward the ice today at Scotiabank Place. That is, after all, where you'll find the action at HomeSense Skate Canada International throughout the entire weekend, for that matter. Ottawa folks will have to wait until the annual Stars On Ice tour hits Scotiabank Place in April to see him once again. You kn...

Chronicles Of The Capital: A Sharp-Dressed Gang
http://skatecanada08.blogspot.com/2008/11/sharp-dressed-gang.html
Chronicles Of The Capital. An 'alternative' view of HomeSense Skate Canada International 2008 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. Saturday, November 1, 2008. The streets of Ottawa were awash with some rather, um, interesting sights as I headed home from Scotiabank Place on Friday night. Take the Canadian duo of Vanessa Crone. For example, who broke out a snappy ragtime theme for Saturday morning's original dance (the theme for this season is the Charleston or Foxtrot) at HomeSense Skate Canada International&#...
