Considered one of the greatest skating pairs of all time, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir spent nearly a decade at the top of their sport to become the most decorated ice dancers in the world. Over more than two decades of extraordinary athletic partnership, Tessa and Scott became the first and only ice dance team to win every major international junior and senior skating competition. At the height of their success between 2008 and 2019 they took home a record-setting five Olympic medals, three World Championships, eight Canadian National Championships and won the Four Continents Championship three times. The pair first skated into the hearts of Canadians at the Olympic Winter Games in 2010, thrilling crowds in Vancouver as they became the youngest athletes and first North Americans to win Olympic Gold in ice dancing. Nearly a decade later Tessa and Scott secured their iconic status with a beguiling Gold medal performance that smashed the world record for overall score in free dance at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang.

Growing up in London, Ontario, Tessa took to the ice at the age of six after deciding she didn’t want to be the only student in her class who couldn’t skate during a school field trip. Raised in a figure skating family in nearby Ilderton, Ontario, Scott had been skating since he was three years old, coached by his mother Alma and his aunt Carol. First collaborating in 1997 when Tessa was seven years old and Scott was nine, the pair were initially so shy they could barely talk to each other. Building confidence while developing undeniable on-ice chemistry, Tessa and Scott shared a commitment to excellence that continually helped them overcome adversity. The two made enormous sacrifices to hone their craft, embracing success and failure as equal opportunities for growth and turning vulnerability into compelling artistry. Training rigorously to perfect innovative choreography, they pushed boundaries by approaching ice dancing as both creative expression and high performance sport, skating with an emotional sincerity that captivated audiences around the world.

After raising the profile of ice dancing to breathtaking new heights, Tessa and Scott retired from competitive skating in 2019. Since then, Scott has served as head coach and managing director of the Ice Academy of Montreal’s satellite program in London, Ontario. He has also been a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusivity in skating. Tessa completed both an MBA from the Smith School of Business, and a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Tessa is an executive advisor at Deloitte, where she helps to unlock the potential of the Canadian workforce in the realm of high performance and wellbeing. She also serves on the board for Her Mark, a charity that empowers young girls through the power of sport, and Motionball, an organization that fundraises for Special Olympics athletes.

Considérés comme l’un des plus grands couples de patinage artistique de tous les temps, Tessa Virtue et Scott Moir ont passé près d’une décennie au sommet de leur sport pour devenir les danseurs sur glace les plus primés du monde. Au cours de leur partenariat sportif extraordinaire qui a duré plus de deux décennies, Tessa et Scott sont devenus la première et la seule équipe de danse sur glace à remporter toutes les compétitions majeures internationales de patinage artistique junior et senior. À l’apogée de leur succès, soit entre 2008 et 2019, ils remportent un nombre record de cinq médailles olympiques, trois Championnats du monde, huit Championnats nationaux canadiens et ils remportent également le Four Continents Championship à trois reprises. Le couple a conquis les cœurs des Canadiens lors des Jeux olympiques d’hiver de 2010, enthousiasmant les foules à Vancouver en devenant les plus jeunes athlètes et les premiers Nord-Américains à remporter l’or olympique en danse sur glace. Près d’une décennie plus tard, aux Jeux olympiques de 2018 à Pyeongchang, Tessa et Scott consolident leur statut emblématique en donnant une performance enlevante qui leur vaudra la médaille d’or et qui pulvérise alors le record du monde pour la note globale obtenue en danse libre.

Tessa a grandi à London, en Ontario et a commencé à patiner à l’âge de six ans après avoir décidé lors d’une sortie scolaire qu’elle ne serait pas la seule élève de sa classe incapable de patiner. Élevé dans une famille de patineurs artistiques, non loin de là, à Ilderton, en Ontario, Scott a commencé à patiner dès l’âge de trois ans. Sa mère Alma et sa tante Carol ont été ses premières entraîneures. La première collaboration du couple survient en 1997 alors que Tessa a sept ans et Scott neuf ans. Ils sont alors si timides qu’ils arrivent à peine à se parler. Gagnant en confiance au fur et à mesure qu’ils développent leur complicité indéniable sur la glace, Tessa et Scott partagent un engagement envers l’excellence qui les a constamment aidés à surmonter l’adversité. Ils ont tous deux fait d’énormes sacrifices pour perfectionner leur art, en embrassant les succès et les échecs comme des opportunités égales de croissance et en transformant la vulnérabilité en un style artistique saisissant. S’entraînant rigoureusement pour perfectionner des chorégraphies innovantes, ils ont repoussé les limites en abordant la danse sur glace à la fois comme une expression créative et un sport de haute performance, patinant avec une sincérité émotionnelle qui a captivé les publics du monde entier.

Après avoir élevé le profil de la danse sur glace à de nouveaux sommets époustouflants, Tessa et Scott ont pris leur retraite de la compétition en 2019. Depuis lors, Scott occupe le poste d’entraîneur en chef et de directeur général du programme satellite de l’Académie de glace de Montréal à London, en Ontario. Il a également été un ardent défenseur de la diversité et de l’inclusivité dans le patinage. Tessa a obtenu un MBA de la Smith School of Business ainsi qu’une maîtrise en psychologie positive appliquée de l’Université de Pennsylvanie. Tessa est conseillère exécutive chez Deloitte, où elle contribue à libérer le potentiel de la main-d’œuvre canadienne dans le domaine de la haute performance et du bien-être. Elle siège également au conseil d’administration de Her Mark, une association caritative qui autonomise les jeunes filles par le biais du sport, et de Motionball, un organisme qui recueille des fonds pour les athlètes d’Olympiques spéciaux.

Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame is honoured to be presenting Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir with the prestigious Order of Sport award on Thursday, October 19, 2023 as a member of the incredible Class of 2023.

De La Iglesia Takes GP Espoo Win over Lee

Both Headed to The Final

November 27, 2022

ESPOO, FINLAND – Guang-hong de la Iglesia of China came from second place after the short to win the free over Seung-gil Lee of South Korea. The two-time Olympic medalist scored 101.95 for his short, 210.82 for his free and 312.77 overall. “I knew that I need to be on my toes this weekend, and I’m so happy to bring home a win,” said the 23-year-old. “I’m looking forward to competing and showing my stuff at the Final.” It will be his second Final after placing fourth in 2019.

2020 Four Continents Champion Seung-gil Lee of South Korea was a very solid silver. He scored 102.42 for his short, 205.82 for his free, and 308.24 overall. “Obviously, I’m disappointed that I didn’t win a GP event, but I’m still satisfied with how I skated,” said the 25-year-old. “I’m looking forward to my third final and to bringing home a medal.” Lee is looking a busy couple of weeks too, as the Korean National Ranking Competition – required to compete at Four Continents – takes place the week before.

Three-time Canadian medalist Louis Leroy was a surprise bronze medal, narrowly defeating teenage phenom Kirill Anishin of the US. The younger brother of reigning Olympic Champion Jean-Jacques Leroy, Leroy scored 90.29 for his short, 188.59 for his free, and 278.88. It is only .49 ahead of reining Junior World Champion Anishin, who was third in the free. “I’m so excited to win a GP medal,” said the 22-year-old. “I’ve been making so much progress since moving to Japan, and I’m glad it’s finally paying off.”

A mail bag

Not too much no drama (yes in message box but not puckbunny type)

A)anon I don't think Ovechkin will even with his empty netters reach Howe's record. Not like he is not good enough but the rules were different then and Ovi is ,veteran, player

B) his first name is Kris not Alex letang. No osing together nonstop does not mean The Letangs are not together lol. Crosby Interesting runs Toews Kane Interesting and so similar bs about Amanda and Kaner . Amanda is pregnant . I still miss to see BrinCat in Chicago. Goals and fun Not certain wags.

C) Marketa was an ice hockey boss of Tomas Hertl, in her tender age back in Prague years back. 15 years back and so. The man with a winning goal against Canada in Nagano was a coach of her team HC Slavia Prague. They tanked financially when she has left for UK and so any other ice hockey club with that ice hockey coach later on. If not bankrupt so at the bottom with no results , say Filip Hronek's home team where the coach's 2nd wife a pole dancer and 25 years his junior has sent her naked photos to the ice hockey players and cheated on him. The coach wanted a money from the parents for minor players to be on the roster and it is apparently typical for young Czech ice hockey. Nepotism, destroyed potential talents with serfdom and bad campaigns, stops and methods and tactics stuck in Stone age, big wigs in their association shopping with their wives in designer boutiques of Czech Madison Avenue. No shock Markle has found her soundboard. The other coach who was young and promoted as a modern expert sucked all enthusiasm fromCzech star NHL team but problems with anybody from their national League and a scoring Czech player. With Canadian scoring player, young players were lazy and not training enough like Jagr with his squats, older players were not in touch with his modern methods, Czech NHLers too primadonnas. They knew M and her development, tips, strategy. It's her ice hockey idea frame what they play now even she has no input in. Marketa was a sport journo as a teenager, keen to write anything and so any small feature or cover female basketball players in Brno. She got up to the ladder gradually, so other female sport journos. I don't mean this one in this outfit but yes she is beautiful and so other girls.

M was always very strict and she is very strict with taming David J now and his ventures how she calls it from New Foundland and Ohio to Florida to have stupid manners of communist pensioners about little helpers when he is not good with his puck handling and no cupped blade of stock or two hands on during scoring. Compared to old structures she supports their brain and play intelligence learning from mistakes . Their national teams were not obedient to listen to their coach unless it was a former star ice hockey player, even voracek has a problem to do it in 2019. All their junior teams were arguing cliques and so with Zacha. Then a lot of things changed. They became a great team despite having not an ice hockey player coach who trolled them on the top. Not good with quick dangles, dekes on the way to the net or quick puck handling for scoring so the goal keeper is able to prepare for the shot but their ice hockey is 3D and very attractive, modern ice hockey. Hertl was a top scorer not ages ago. I would type the last post with M's photos today and I close this topic for next and following year(s). How get an entry to army and be relevant female biz leader lol

D) Brown shoes of Jonathan Toews on New Year day.!!!!! I analyzed them.

Would you be able to give me a rundown on Scott’s teams? Just what you think of them and what growth you’ve seen? I know it’s only his second season coaching but it’s also my first watching! Trying to understand what my feelings should be about for ex the JGP skaters coming in 6/7 and S/W coming in 5 at Lake Placid etc. Thank you!!!

I would say trust your own reactions ☺️ if you enjoy a team, their placement doesn't matter. I really like Dozzi/Papetti -their tango program is😘 I don't know if I can be much help, but I had fun thinking about your question- this ended up being more than you might want to know lol -

His two top teams are CPom and Sales/Wamsteeker- they both were up and coming a few seasons back and then stalled a little bit and switched to Scott.

Carreira/Ponomarenko won🥈at 2018 Junior Worlds, and in their first 2 senior seasons 2018-20, they medaled at 6 Challengers and won🥉at a Grand Prix so there was a feeling that they were a team to watch.

They were getting results and were 4th at US Nationals. But in 2019-20, their then-coach Igor Shpilband had them skate Farrucas for their FD, and it exposed areas that weren't strengths - they're not the most fiery team, so it was a risk to skate a flamenco (esp the one associated with VM). Christina wasn't holding herself in lifts and there was more mention that Anthony was the stronger partner. Then the lockdown season 2020-21, their FD didn't feel like anything new, and they had the bad luck to have to withdraw from Nationals because of a close covid contact. CPom, especially Christina, are big VMies, and around that time they decided to switch camps and go to Scott.

Christina grew a lot their first season at IAM.O. She was noticeably stronger and projected her performances more. Best of all was that she looked more confident, like there was an internal shift. Anthony was dealing with injury, and that understandably held them back, especially in lifts, but it was kept quiet til the end of the season, so while some of their struggles got chalked up to growing pains from switching camps, some commentators blamed Scott.

Meanwhile, Green/Parsons had a stellar season and overtook CPom for the #4 spot in the US, and now some younger US teams including the Junior World Champs Oona and Gage Brown have seniored up, so this season, CPom will want to come roaring back.

They're probably aiming for the #3 US spot, but they were 7th at Nationals this past January, so top 5 would be progress and top 3 would be really exciting. Fingers crossed that they have great programs this year!

Then Scott's top Canadian team are Haley Sales and Nikolas Wamsteeker- they've been around long enough that they competed against VM. They were #4 in Canada 2018-2020 but had other🇨🇦 teams going ahead of them (Lajoie/Lagha, and Fournier-Beaudry/Sorensen switching to🇨🇦) and needed a change.

These two have a good connection and are expressive - I used to think they had a quiet personality as a team, but I think it's that more power would give them the oomph to be impactful. Their speed has improved since they've been with Scott (compare their 2020 Samson & Delilah FD to this season's Phantom FD), but it's still not a strength. I wish they skated with more extension - with their long limbs and good unison, they have nice lines and look so good when they do extend their free legs. They came to Scott already with good lifts, especially the stationary and rotational. Their straight line lift is striking (Wang/Liu is another team with a tall male partner who does a similar lift). Their spin has improved and is faster.

Gilles/Poirier, Fournier-Beaudry/Sorensen, Lajoie/Lagha are the top 3 🇨🇦 teams. S/W are among 6 other senior teams who have international assignments from Skate Canada and are competing for the ranks below them. S/W so far have been placing behind Lauriault/LeGac and Soucisse/Firus so they're probably #6 in 🇨🇦 and need to skate lights out at their Grand Prix and keep improving in general to be considered stronger contenders.

#cpom #sales wamsteeker #i'll do the others in another part

Top places to visit in Calgary, AB

Calgary is a vibrant city that’s full of culture, history and nature. It has something for everyone, including the young and old alike. If you're planning a visit to Calgary, here are my top picks for places to explore during your time in this Alberta city.

Glenbow Museum

The Glenbow Museum is an art and history regional museum in the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The museum focuses on Western Canadian history and culture, including Indigenous perspectives.

The Glenbow Museum is an art and history regional museum in the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The museum focuses on Western Canadian history and culture, including Indigenous perspectives. The Glenbow was established as a private non-profit foundation in 1955 by lawyer, businessman and philanthropist Eric Lafferty Harvie with materials from his personal collection.

The museum moved to its current facility in downtown Calgary in 1976, and is funded by the governments of Calgary, Alberta and Canada, private donors, as well as an endowment provided by Harvie. In 2019, the Glenbow had a total of 148,668 visitors. The museum closed temporarily for renovations in 2021, and will re-open in 2024.

Glenbow is a place of confluence. A meeting point for people and communities to join a flow of ideas, knowledge, opinions and experiences. Our exceptional collection of art and historical objects represents the people and ideas that have shaped our region. That collection is complemented and contextualized by travelling exhibitions that explore historical and contemporary art, fashion, design and innovation from around the world.

We are committed to expanding the accessibility and impact of art and culture in our community through exhibitions and programs that provide meaningful experiences for all visitors. As an independent, non-profit member-based organization, we generate over 60% of our operating revenue through fundraising, museum and program admissions, and memberships.

The Military Museums

The Military Museums of Calgary, Alberta is the largest tri-service museum in Western Canada and the second largest military museum in the country. The Military Museums is home to eight separate museums including the Naval, Army and Air Force Museums of Alberta, the Air Force Cold War Museum, the four museums of the founding regiments, Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI), The King's Own Calgary Regiment and The Calgary Highlanders. It also includes the UCalgary Founders' Gallery and Library & Archives.

Most units, regiments and branches of the Canadian Armed Forces have museums dedicated to their specific history; some are large and well-funded, others are small and struggle to survive. Whatever their size, they are almost always housed separately, even when located within the same base or geographic area.

In the mid to late 1980s, a combination of environmental conditions and lack of public access to the existing regimental museums in Calgary created the catalyst for change. A group of dedicated citizens came together to find ways to preserve the valuable artifacts and archives belonging to the local regiments. When the Department of National Defence (DND) made Sir Sam Steele Junior High School surplus, Calgarians raised $6.5 million to convert the school and create The Museum of the Regiments (MOR).

With the support of DND, the collections of two regular force regiments and two reserve regiments became housed under one roof, each regiment being provided with its own gallery in which to display artifacts, memorabilia and equipment. This greatly enhanced the connection between Canada’s military heritage and the Canadian public, particularly its youth. It also enhanced the pride of veterans and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces by showcasing their regimental history in a world class facility.

Early life and education.

Jedaiah Mosha Lim was born on April 24, 1995, in Seoul, and grew up in there. He moved to Jakarta in 2011 due to personal reasons and so he work both in South Korea and Indonesia under the same agency, HLA & Co. Jeremiah Lim, his father, is a Canadian-Korean chef who runs restaurants in several countries. Inggrid Carmelita Lee, his mother, is an Indonesian-Korean. The first born of Lim, Theodosia Lim, is a business woman who owns a beauty brand Skèenosia with the help of Mosha Lim as co-owner and the brand ambassador. His brother, Joe Lim, is an editor for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

He is a multilingual speaker. He communicates in Korean, English, and Bahasa Indonesia. Yet he stated that he is not fluent in Bahasa Indonesia¹.

Rise to prominence.

Mosha is a South Korean actor under Hoshka Lim Agency (HLA & Co.). The issue was raging because his name was similar to the agency and people started calling him Nepo Baby. Yet the agency released their statement that Mosha is a self made-up actor who built his reputation from scratch.

He began his career as a kid in television productions, appearing in the drama series Run Away in 2000. In 2004 he made his film debut in the comedy drama How to Be Gangnamian and appeared in Jo Kihyun’s romance film Should Be You as Lee Yoo. Mosha came to international attention with the lead role in Brigitta Kim’s film What Mommy Should Do (2006), earning him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Alongside supporting roles in Monica Gerwig's films To The Bone (2007) and I Am You (2012), he took on starring roles as drug addict Denny ‘Sinting’ Yang in the Indonesian movie Kapan Kapok? (2015), Joe Kim in Henry Leigh's fiction film Memory (2020), and a romantic horror film Three of Us (2022), which he also produced.

Public image and fashion.

Several media publications consider Lim to be among the most talented actors of his generation.Remarking upon his performance, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote that “he might be the male actor of his generation”. In 2018, he appeared in Forbes’s 30 Under 30 Hollywood & Entertainment list.

Off-screen, Lim has been described by the media as a fashion icon, with his looks highlighted as his trademarks. Vogue named him the most influential man in fashion in 2019, writing “those fashion choices are all the more impressive considering that Lim styles himself”. In 2020, GQ ranked him as the best-dressed man in the world.

Personal life.

Lim splits his time between Seoul and Jakarta. Despite significant media attention and public interest, he rarely discusses the romantic aspects of his personal life.

Lim is an avid sports fan; in his youth, he aspired to be a professional swimmer. He enjoys hip-hop music and considers rapper Kid Cudi to be his biggest career inspiration.

An update from my latest deep dive into youtube has yielded. I haven’t watched any of it yet (i have a to watch list) so can’t really comment on any of it yet for content.

2019 - Asian Championships Aurora Games

2018 - Looks like we lost the 2018 Commonwealth Games vault final which was the only part of that competition we have. It’s a good time to point out again that the Commonwealth Games are incredibly aggressive only behind the Olympics about striking videos. If you haven’t watched the current year competition yet and you want to you should make it a priority.

Added the 2018 Asian Games UB Final. Don’t have anything else from this.

CBC version of the 2018 Worlds AA

2017 - South East Asian Games EF

The Chinese National Games

The CBC version of the Worlds AA. Or in other words the Ellie Black is Really Nifty version.

2015 - South East Asian Games

The CBC versions of the World TF and World AA

2014 - Asian Games UB Final

CBC version of the Worlds AA

2013 - The Chinese National Games

2009 - The Chinese National Games

2008 - The BBC version of the Euros TF (and the FX final). Can’t wait to hear how they react to the worst camera angles for gymnastics ever.

2006 - The Beam Final from the Asian Championships... (not to be confused with the Asian Games)

Qatari (no commentary) coverage of the WAG TF from the Asian Games.

2005 - The Australian version of the Worlds AA. This makes the fifth version of this final I have and that kind of amuses me (the other four are BBC, Eurosport, WCSN/American, and Spanish).

The Chinese National Games... and I mean a LOT of it. It’s broken in parts so it’s missing at least one bit of one sub from qualification but otherwise it’s largely complete with qualification, team final, AA, and EFs.

2004 - A little over half of Athens qualification (2 full subs, half of another though nothing from the American sub), a bit of the Athens team final from the BBC, 3 rotations of the AA from the BBC, and the entire AA from Brazilian TV.

Unfortunately it looks like the only copy of the Athens FX EF was nuked. In trying to see if there was any other version of it still on youtube I found some partial coverage from NBC and have put it in it’s place. It’s not ideal but I really can’t tell you how much building an olympics from youtube coverage can be a bit like filling the holes in swiss cheese.

2003 - Universiade Team Final

A full length no commentary version of the Worlds TF ... but it is deeply potato.

2002 - Asian Games AA - I don’t know how I missed this one the first time because i grabbed the team final and event finals from the same source.

2001 - East Asian Games AA

2000 - The English Eurosport version of the Euros EFs. Previously I had a version in French only.

Canadian junior and senior championships. This is video from the stands which I often pass on but I make exceptions and non-US championships is often something I’ll go with if it seems complete which this does.

Canadian Olympic Trials (from the CBC).

The Australian version of the Olympic TF.

1999 - Russian Cup

1998 - English Eurosport coverage of the Euros EFs

Japanese (I think) coverage of the Asian Games.

1997 - French Eurosport coverage of the European Masters of Gymnastics. I had the ABC version of this before but that is 30 minutes long and this version is almost 3 hours long. Ahh editing to fit a time slot. The European Masters of Gymnastics is a now defunct meet format that involved teams of WAG/MAG/RG not unlike USAG’s 3 on 3 but... also so much more complicated.

The East Asian Games.

1992 - Two versions of the Worlds semi finals (both are Eurosport so likely only differ in commentary one in english and one in I believe dutch). Canadian Olympic Trials. The Spanish version of the Olympic AA final.

1991 - The ABC version of the European Cup AA. Because why not edit a 2 hour AA down to half an hour? At least it’s Bart and Kathy.

The CBC version of the Worlds AA.

1985 - The Eurosport version of the 1985 Worlds EF and a more complete version of the 1985 Worlds EF from ABC (it has Fahnrich’s bars but you know how cares about showing the vault final...)

1982 - Asian Games Team Final

1980 - 21 minutes of the Moscow AA with Japanese commentary. It’s in 3 parts but I suspect that is all of that one since that is about the length the sometimes would edit down an AA.

1976 - 8 of 10 parts of the Olympic AA. As is the general rule if something was uploaded in a million parts more than a decade ago some amount of it is missing.

American Hockey League (AHL)

The American Hockey League (AHL) is an official ice hockey league that is based in the United States and Canada that is the primary development organization for National Hockey League (NHL). Since the season of 2010-11 each team of the league has signed an affiliation agreement with an NHL team. When NHL teams don't possess an AHL affiliate players are assigned AHL teams associated in other NHL teams. The majority of the AHL team are in the United States and the remaining six are in Canada. The league's office is located within Springfield, Massachusetts, and the president of the league currently is Scott Howson.

In general, a player must be at the age of 18 years old to play in the AHL or not currently be bound to a junior hockey team. The league is limited in the number of experienced professional players that can be on an active roster during any given game. There are only five skaters who can have accumulated four full seasons of play or more on a professional scale (goaltenders are exempt from this restriction and are able to stay in the AHL indefinitely without being subject to this cap). The AHL allows for the practice squad to sign contracts.

The annual playoff champion is named the Calder Cup, named for Frank Calder, the first president (1917-1943) of the NHL. The current champions are Chicago Wolves in 2022, who are the first team to win the Calder Cup since the Charlotte Checkers in 2019.

History

Predecessor leagues

The AHL can trace its roots back to two prior professional leagues that were it was the Canadian-American Hockey League (the "Can-Am" League) founded in 1926, and the first International Hockey League, established in 1929. While The Can-Am League never operated with more than six teams. However, the departure from the Boston Bruin Cubs after the 1935-36 season slashed it to four member clubs - that is the Springfield Indians, Philadelphia Ramblers, Providence Reds, and New Haven Eagles - for the first time in its history. In the same period, the then-rival IHL dropped half of its eight members after the 1935-36 season, leaving only four member teams that included the Buffalo Bisons, Pittsburgh Hornets, Buffalo Bisons, Syracuse Stars, Pittsburgh Hornets, and Cleveland Falcons.

1936-1938

Both leagues were down to the minimum number of teams to be viable The leaders of both leagues understood the need for action in order to protect their clubs' long-term survival. The solution was an interlocking schedule. While the Can-Am was based on the Northeast and the IHL was in the Great Lakes, their footprints were close enough for this to be a viable alternative. The two leagues' eight surviving clubs began joint play in November 1936 as a new two-division "circuit of mutual convenience" known as the International-American Hockey League. There were four Can-Am teams were merged into the I-AHL East Division, with the IHL quartet playing as members of the West Division. The IHL also contributed its former championship trophy, the F. G. "Teddy" Oke Trophy, which would go to the regular-season winners of the league's merged West Division until 1952. The Oke Trophy is now presented to regular season winners of the American Hockey League's Northeast Division.

A little more than one month into this first season in the new circuit, the balance and symmetry of the new combined circuit suffered one setback, when its membership suddenly dwindled down to just seven teams. Its West's Buffalo Bisons were forced to shut down operations on the 6th day of December of 1936, having played just 11 games, as a result of what proved to be an insurmountable financial burden and the absence of access to an appropriate arena. The Bisons' original venue, Peace Bridge Arena, was destroyed the previous year (a new Buffalo Bisons team would return to the league in 1940 after a new arena was constructed to accommodate the Bisons). The impromptu new I-AHL was in operation for the rest of its first season (as well as all of the subsequent seasons) with only seven teams.

In the final game of the 1936-37 season, an altered three-round playoff format was developed and the new championship trophy, that of the Calder Cup, was established. The Syracuse Stars defeated the Philadelphia Ramblers in the final game, three-games to one, to claim the first Calder Cup championship. The Calder Cup continues on today as the AHL's championship trophy for playoffs.

Following two years of lock-up, the governors of the two teams of the leagues' seven active teams came together at New York City on June 28th, 1938 and decided it was the right time to officially to unite. Maurice Podoloff of New Haven, the former head of the Can-Am League, was elected as the first president of the I-AHL. Former IHL head, John Chick of Windsor, Ontario, became vice-president with charge of the official.

The new I-AHL was also granted an eighth franchise at the 1938 conference to fill the void in its membership caused by the demise of Buffalo two years before with the admission of the then two-time winning Eastern Amateur Hockey League (EAHL) champion Hershey Bears. The Bears remain the sole among the original eight I-AHL/AHL teams to be represented in the league without interruption since the 1938-39 season. The newly-merged circuit has also expanded its regular season schedule for the teams each by 6 games from 52 to.

The 1939-40 season was the time when the I-AHL renamed itself it was the American Hockey League. It generally enjoyed both consistent success on the ice and relatively stable financial performance over its first three decades of operating. The late 1960s and the early 1970s the costs of running a business in the professional world of hockey began to climb quickly with NHL expansion and relocation (the NHL placed teams in Pittsburgh and Buffalo which forced two long-time AHL clubs, the Pittsburgh Hornets and Buffalo Bisons to cease operations) and more specifically, the formation of the World Hockey Association (WHA) which forced the move and then the eventual folding of the Cleveland Barons, Baltimore Clippers, and Quebec Aces. The number of major league teams competing for players rose between six and thirty in just seven years. Player salaries at all levels shot up dramatically with the increase in demand and increasing competition for their services.

This did not seem to be a problem for the AHL at first, and it was expanded to 12 teams by the year 1970. To make up for the rising player salaries, several NHL clubs cut back on the number of players they had under contract for development, and players on AHL contracts may now have to pay more for their current clubs. In the end, half of the AHL's teams ended up closing between 1974 and. The league's lowest point was 1997's summer, when it was announced that the Rhode Island (formerly Providence) Reds was the last unbroken franchise since the 1936-37 season and the longest operating minor league franchise throughout North America - had decided to stop operations after 51 years of operation in Rhode Island.

The AHL appeared to be in danger of losing its existence if the downward trend continued unabated. However, two events in the fall of 1977 helped change the direction. The first of these was the decision by the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers to return to the league as a team's owner as well as the unexpected collapse of the North American Hockey League just weeks before the start of the 1977-78 campaign.

The Flyers' brand-new AHL franchise quickly became the successful Maine Mariners that brought the newly-created AHL City of Portland, Maine both the regular-season and Calder Cup playoff titles in the initial two seasons in operation. The demise of NAHL was a shock to the league, and it left two of its stronger teams which are the Philadelphia Firebirds and Binghamton, New York-based Broome Dusters, without a league to play in. The owner of the Dusters have solved their dilemma by purchasing the Reds franchise and transferring it to Binghamton and renaming it their Binghamton Dusters, while the Firebirds crossed over to join the AHL away from NAHL. They joined the Dusters and Firebirds, together with the Hampton Gulls (who had joined the league through an earlier league called the Southern Hockey League), helped to increase the AHL to nine member clubs as the 1977-78 season started. Hampton was shut down the 10th of February, 1978 and was replaced later in the one year with the New Brunswick Hawks. With the stability of the franchise improving after the collapse of the WHA in 1979, the league continued to expand steadily throughout the years until it reached 20 clubs at the end of the 2000-01 season.

Absorption of the IHL

In 2001-02, the AHL's membership has exploded to 27 teams, mostly due to the addition of six teams: Milwaukee, Chicago, Houston, Utah, Manitoba, and Grand Rapids, which were part of the International Hockey League. The IHL had established itself as the top-tier minor league in North America, but folded in 2001 due financial issues. One oddity caused by the AHL's expansion in 2001 was that the league featured two teams that shared the same name for the Milwaukee Admirals and the Norfolk Admirals. The latter team was transferred to the league from the middle-level ECHL in 2000. The situation continued until the end of the 2014-15 season in which the Norfolk team moved towards San Diego and was replaced by a different ECHL team with similar name.

The Utah Grizzlies suspended operations after the 2004-05 season (the franchise was sold in 2006 before it returned to the arena in Cleveland in 2007 as The Lake Erie Monsters, now named Cleveland Monsters). Cleveland Monsters). They are the Chicago Wolves (2002, 2008), Houston Aeros (2003), Milwaukee Admirals (2004) along with the Grand Rapids Griffins (2013, 2017) have all been winners of Calder Cup titles since joining the AHL from the IHL. Chicago and Milwaukee have also made multiple trips to the Calder Cup Finals, and Houston made their second Finals appearance in 2011.

The Manitoba Moose moved to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador in 2011 and named The St. John's IceCaps after the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg as the second version from Winnipeg Jets. Winnipeg Jets. In 2013, Houston made the move the team to Des Moines, Iowa to become the Iowa Wild. The move left Chicago, Grand Rapids and Milwaukee as the only IHL ex- teams to remain in their original cities prior to the 2015 relocations when the IceCaps moved back into Winnipeg with the Manitoba Moose.

Relocations and western shift

Since the start of the 2015-16 season the franchises of twelve have since relocated because of NHL parent club influence over their development teams and players. Of the twelve relocated franchises nine were relocated as they were directly owned by NHL teams and the NHL parent club wished to make call-ups from the AHL more feasible by being closer affiliates.

In January 2015, the AHL announced the relocation of five existing AHL franchises--Adirondack, Manchester, Norfolk, Oklahoma City, and Worcester--to California as the basis for a new "Pacific Division" becoming Stockton, Ontario, San Diego, Bakersfield, and San Jose respectively. The teams that were relocated were affiliated with or owned by teams belonging to the NHL's Pacific Division. The franchise movement continued with two further relocations that involved Canadian teams, with two teams, the St. John's IceCaps going back to Winnipeg as the Manitoba Moose and the Hamilton Bulldogs becoming another iteration of the IceCaps for the purpose of fulfilling its arena contracts for St. John's.

In the following seasons, more NHL organizations influenced the league's membership. In 2016, it was announced that the Springfield Falcons franchise was purchased by the Arizona Coyotes and relocated to be part of the Tucson Roadrunners and join the one-year-old Pacific Division. The Falcons were subsequently replaced by that of the Springfield Thunderbirds, the relocated Portland Pirates franchise under a new ownership group. The Montreal Canadiens owned IceCaps have relocated to Montreal neighborhood of Laval, Quebec, and became known as the Laval Rocket in 2017. Laval Rocket was also purchased by the Binghamton Senators were also purchased by the Ottawa Senators and were relocated to Belleville, Ontario, to become The Belleville Senators while the New Jersey Devils owned by the Albany Devils were relocated to be known as the Binghamton Devils.

The 2018-19 season saw an additional team was added to the league alongside the Colorado Eagles as the NHL's Colorado Avalanche affiliate. With the NHL plans to expand to 32 teams by 2021 through the Seattle Kraken, the Seattle ownership group was approved to form a 2021 AHL expansion team. Later, the team was announced to be known as the Coachella Valley Firebirds based in Palm Springs, California, due to the construction of a new arena. The initial plan for the new arena was eventually removed and the team was forced to delay their debut by one year, while the new arena plan was developed.

In February 2020 in February of 2020, the San Antonio Rampage franchise was bought and relocated by the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights for the 2020-21 season. It was then renamed as their Henderson Silver Knights and was moved to in the Pacific Division. In the 2021-22 season there was a change in ownership as the Vancouver Canucks relocated their franchise from Utica to Abbotsford while the Utica Comets agreed to relocate and operate the franchise that was operating under the name of Binghamton Devils. Binghamton Devils. On the 23rd of May, 2022, it was declared that Stockton Heat would be relocating to Calgary, Alberta, starting the 2022-23 season.

“OP who referred to Gogolev as a 'premature new senior' must have forgotten that he is the 2019 Canadian silver medalist. Also, he got assigned to Skate America because he was on the season's best list and he trains in America, not because Skate Canada had some sudden shortage of senior men. He withdrew in the end, so maybe he'll be 'cooked' enough by the OP's standard when he skates again.🙃”

((mod note: the op was mistaken, he withdrew because of a supposed injury, not because he wasn’t ready.))

2019 Junior Canadian Nationals Recap

Overall a very well skated event, particularly in the free dance! There's so much talent in this field, and we sincerely hope that everyone stays together, especially if they suffered a disappointment here.

If you missed the event, or want to revisit this great event, the archived rhythm dance is here, and the free dance is here.

Surprising no one, Lajoie/Lagha took their third junior national title with a whopping 21 point margin. A well deserved victory, they really went for it technically and in the performance. Even though they could have won with much less than their best against this field, this was a great opportunity to show their strength and improvement since the JGPF as the other likely top contenders for the Junior World podium will be facing tougher competition at their respective nationals. They nailed pretty much everything except for some slightly wonky twizzles in the rhythm dance, and Monday wasn't the best day for twizzles in general. Every other element in the rhythm dance and all of the non choreographic elements in the free were deemed a level 4, which is a great achievement even at Nationals. Low levels is what cost them a medal at JGPF, so seeing their hard work since then pay off must be a great boost for them going into Junior Worlds.

As we mentioned in the preview Alicia Fabbri has a been a favorite of ours for nearly three years now and we're just thrilled for these two for getting the silver. Might have stopped breathing during their skates as staying on their feet has been a bit of a struggle for this new team, but they were solid here showing none of their earlier season shakiness. They have two solid programs, giving them great material to work with while navigating a new partnership. In addition to having such great glide and power and matching each other so well, they have a maturity that will serve them well as they move up to seniors.

D'Alessandro/Waddell aren't just multitasking overachievers, but successful ones, at least in the dance portion. Judges really loved their free dance especially, heaping on the GOEs, allowing them to leap onto the podium after being behind in the rhythm dance. They're a talented pair of youngsters, and they'll no doubt be thrilled with their placement here, especially with their second place free dance. Their polish, lines, and strong body shaping are tailor made to pick up GOE, and they've got decent speed for their ages too. With the two teams above and several below them moving up next season, they've set themselves up well for a great season next year.

It wasn't what Fisher/Malette-Paquette were hoping for, and we hope they don't get too discouraged. They really skated very well in both segments and we thought they had gotten a medal while they were skating, but a look at the protocols reveals they gave up too much technically. It's really a shame there aren't more spots on the team, but they can still have a good senior career if they keep working. We thought their speed, maturity and expression would have earned them a little more GOE, especially as their performance has improved since the JGP. They have always had a mature performance in the rhythm dance, but we really enjoyed this free dance performance and the sort of youthful determination that they carried through the romantic, angsty, and more dramatic parts, really tying the story together. We just know they're capable of so much more, and we hope that they bounce back from this better than ever to storm the gates at the senior level.

Rounding out the top 5 were Orihara/Royer, who put out yet another set of solid performances. They shocked quite a few people who hadn't been aware with the knowledge they had only just teamed up in April, as they have the feel of a team that's been together much longer. They seemed a little disappointed to not make the podium, but honestly we're not sure they even need it right now. They have everything they need to succeed at seniors-- great flow and chemistry and strong elements, and the extra time off means they can really throw themselves into preparing to wow everyone at seniors the way they already did here.

Bronsard/Bouaraguia were probably the biggest casualties of the twizzle demon in the building for the RD, but they bounced back for the free dance. The tango isn't their strongest interpretation wise, and he struggled on the twizzles before they could transition to the part of the program where their talents really shine. They're a young team, and not quite used to shrugging off mid program errors to sell the rest of the choreography, but they did bring it in the free dance in a way that's very promising for their future.

Galiyanova/Lochhead might be a little disappointed after their stronger placement at Challenge, but they still did quite well for themselves. They showcased a great maturity and elegance in their tango that the judges appreciated as much as we did. These two have a strong sense of musical phrasing and went to hold and release tension that works for any program, increasing the performance of their free as well as their tango. Their free dance is further enhanced by some top notch angst face, particularly from her. They’ve got a couple more years of junior eligibility left to really capitalize on the strong early potential of their pairing, and we hope to see them looking even better next season!

If you're going to skate to Chicago for your tango rhythm dance, you better skate it with as much style and +5 GOE ponytail action as McIsaac/Circelli. Unfortunately their levels really let them down here, putting them in a bit of a hole, particularly their base and level 1 calls on the pattern. Their free dance is as marvelous as her dress though, and we honestly thought they could have stood to earn a little more for it. It builds so well and is so modern and effective. We really enjoyed watching them skate, and hope to see more programs like this from them in the future.

Fresh-faced cuties Makita/Gunara are still developing the power and maturity they need to compete at the top, but show so much potential. He gave pretty solid tango face, and their joy and exuberance in the free dance was downright infectious. It's such a light, sweet, innocent program, and plays perfectly to their strengths, and is especially well highlighted by a great split rotational right on the swell of the music. We hope to see them back next season, skating bigger and faster and ready to challenge for the top.

And finally, closing out our top ten were Bashynska/Beaumont. They struggled a bit on the twizzles in the rhythm dance like a number of teams, and this tango program is not the strongest fit for them regardless. Their Cinderella free dance really is lovely though, a great display of dancing, connection, and storytelling, all the while flowing through all their elements like a dream. They did have a few bobbles, but overall delivered a really great performance. We hope they take the experience they gained here and shore up on their technical aspects and come back next season with more power and maturity and programs even better than these.
