May 6, 2018 By Beverley 2 Comments

Outside the Air Canada Centre, there was sturm. Inside there was drama. A post-Olympic Stars On Ice had come to Toronto. But it wasn’t like any Stars On Ice we’d seen in years.

Virtue and Moir: on Top of the World

February 20, 2018 By Beverley Leave a Comment

Virtue and Moir: reborn after the Grand Prix Final

Weaver and Poje: home at last

January 15, 2017 By 1 Comment

Yes, they had won medals at two world championships, chalked up undefeated strings on Grand Prix circuits, ruled Canada’s ice dancers for two years, and earned sheets of standing ovations for their heartfelt routines.
