What's New

Brian Orser, former World Champion and two-time Olympic medallist, dropped by CTSC this fall for a practice session. Brian was in Toronto preparing for his performance in Kurt Browning's TV special: 'Gotta Skate', which airs on CTV Dec. 1st 2002.

After training, Brian chatted to our junior skaters for a while and showed the kids a few 'tricks', including his famed back-flip. Both parents and skaters alike were delighted to see Brian up close and were thrilled Brian took some time for our skaters.

Before he left, Brian volunteered his time helping with the CanSkate skaters. One lucky first time skater took his first steps on the ice with Brian. Hopefully some of Brian's talent rubbed off on the little guy!

Thanks Brian! We look forward to your next visit!

This past summer, the CTSC was fortunate to have Bernard Ford coaching at our summer school. Originally from the UK, Bernard Ford, former 4 times World Dance Champion is known throughout the world as an ice dancing icon. Bernard consults for SkateCanada, USFA and the ISU; lending his technical expertise to technical rule and structure development. Bernard has recently returned to Toronto with his new wife to coach in the GTA. Welcome home Bernie!

The CTSC is offering a new program called ‘Fast Trackers’. This program is for the CanSkate skater who have completed badge 5 and/ or the skater who is demonstrating a special interest and abilities. The program, designed to help skaters make an easier transition from CanSkate to the Test stream is offered in a 45-minute group format.

The scheduling will overlap both the Junior Session and the CanSkate session. Consequently, skaters moved to this session will experience a minimal time scheduling difference of only ½ an hour.

The FastTrack Program will take place 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled CanSkate on both Fridays and Sundays.

Fast Trackers :    Friday - 5:45 - 6:30

Fast Trackers :    Sunday - 2:40 - 3:20

The programs will overlap 15 minutes into the CanSkate Session.

Currently, fees will the same as a CanSkate.

[$210 1 day per week/ $320 2 days per week]

Participation in this program is restricted. Skaters must be invited by the Director.
