Canada’s cast includes icons Kurt Browning and Elvis Stojko, as well as Instagram and TikTok star Elladj Baldé.

skating moments, to big family memories, or just images of love and joy, allowed for the whole audience to feel as though they were truly getting to know the skaters they were watching. It creates an atmosphere in the arena that felt as though it was a home away from home.
