She won!!!

Woooooooooooo!

Yeah overall I think it was a solid year, lots of ups and downs, surprises and disappointments, and new talent coming in as well. Overall I do expect a lot of things in a few months, def looks as tho we'll do a lot better in terms of medals than Beijing. It's really nice to see how well curling has rebounded after the state it was several years ago. As for hockey? Well... "We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them. We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you’re feeling – we get it. This isn’t the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way." (what HC should've said after the loss a few days ago for humour lol)

With this win, also win the IIHF Triple-Triple of 2025. World Juniors, Women's Worlds, and Men's Worlds

Well either way, to say it's not a fun year for Canadian hockey is not enough. Only golds came from our U18 teams, on the men and women side. 4 Nations was also a great success for us. Asides from that though, yikes. World Juniors? Disaster (Never let Dave Cameron coach again) Women's Worlds? Outcoached in OT Men's Worlds? Today's all you really need

Well, um, the men's tourneys always didn't really matter too much and it's not really something we can massively have big takeaways from. Lots of players turn down opportunities to play in this if they don't want to. But still

Silver for the Canadian women in the 2025 Worlds Crazy game, really coulda gone either way, but yea shame just one mistake ended up leading to the GWG

Worlds roster this year

Ann-Renee Desbiens suffered an injury in a game yesterday and had to leave early... Tough blow for the women in the upcoming Worlds, who've already lost Emmerance Maschmeyer to injury as well. Goalies are gonna be questionable for this year.

Yea skaters switching countries isn't really an unusual thing. A lot of this happens when they're trying better to go for international competitions. Either way I do feel Skate Canada needs some sort of change in leadership because whatever Mike Slipchuk or whoever is running this org is doing is not working. It's just been the same thing behind the scenes for the past few years.

Silver and Bronze for Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps as well as Lia Pereira & Trennt Michaud at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships! Great start so far

The sooner we host something the better ig lol

Women are Rivalry Series champions for another consecutive year following a 3-1 win in Game 5! Now onto the men with the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off...

How many of them are likely golds though?

Women's team drops game 4 of the Rivalry Series, and now game 5 will become a winner-takes-all. Tough game, the US goalie played really well

Oh jeepers, the last increase in funding from the government was in 2005...

Fortunately they did in the 3rd. 6-2 final, even got the Slovak's goalie pulled.

Summer McIntosh World Record in 400m Freestyle! These WRs keep piling up

McIntosh WR for the 400m Freestyle on the first day of the SC World Championships! Also bronze for Mary-Sophie Harvey!

Well not everything is meant to be

Canada takes Game 2 of the Rivalry Series against the US! Quite scary considering we gave up a 4-1 lead but we still held on with 17 yo Chloe Primerano scoring the shootout winner!

Sad but expected
