Skate Canada International is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organised and hosted by Skate Canada. The first Skate Canada competition was held in 1973 in Calgary, Alberta. When the ISU launched the Champions Series (later renamed the Grand Prix Series) in 1995, Skate Canada International was one of the five qualifying events. It has been a Grand Prix event every year except for 2020, when Skate Canada was forced to cancel the event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earn points based on their results at the qualifying competitions each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to then compete at the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.

Patrick Chan of Canada currently holds the record for winning the most Skate Canada titles in men's singles (with six),[1] while Michelle Kwan of the United States and Joannie Rochette of Canada are tied for winning the most titles in women's singles (with three each).[2][3] Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford of Canada,[4] and Aljona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany,[5] are tied for winning the most titles in pair skating (with four each). Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada hold the record in ice dance (with seven).[6]

The 2025 Skate Canada International is scheduled to be held 31 October – 2 November at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[7]

History

[edit]

Between 1923 and 1971, the Canadian Figure Skating Association and the U.S. Figure Skating Association co-hosted the North American Figure Skating Championships. At this time, medal contenders at the World Figure Skating Championships and the Winter Olympics came from either Europe or North America. The North American Championships allowed Canadian and American skaters the opportunity to compete at a comparable event to the European Figure Skating Championships. The championships were held every other year, with Canada and the United States alternating as hosts, and only skaters from Canada and the United States were eligible to compete.[8]

At a planning meeting held in April 1972, representatives from the Canadian Figure Skating Association announced Canada's plans to withdraw from the North American Championships. With one of the two participating nations out, this effectively marked the end of the championships. The delegation from the U.S. Figure Skating Association was unaware at the time that the Canadian Figure Skating Association was already in the planning stages of launching their own international skating competition.[8]

The first edition of the Skate Canada International, then simply called Skate Canada, was held in 1973 in Calgary, Alberta.[9] Nine countries were invited to participate: Austria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, France, Great Britain, Japan, the Soviet Union, the United States, and West Germany.[8] Each nation could field one entry in each of three events – men's singles, women's singles, and ice dance – while Canada fielded three entries in each event. Toller Cranston and Lynn Nightingale, both of Canada, won the men's and women's events, respectively, while Hilary Green and Glyn Watts of Great Britain won the ice dance event.[8]

Canada did not hold the competition in 1979 after reaching an agreement with the U.S. Figure Skating Association to accommodate the Olympic test event at Lake Placid, New York, in anticipation of the 1980 Winter Olympics.[8] In 1987, Skate Canada hosted their own test event at the Olympic Saddledome in Calgary, site of the 1988 Winter Olympics.[10]

Compulsory figures, which had been a required element of men's and women's single skating since the beginning, were retired after the 1988 competition.[11] In 1989, Skate Canada unveiled three new events: men's artistic programs, women's artistic programs, and four skating.[11] The artistic events – later rechristened "interpretive programs" – required each skater to present a 2:30 minute program with an emphasis on musical interpretation. No double Axels or triple-rotation jumps were permitted, and skaters had total latitude over their choice of music and costume, even allowing for vocal music, which was not allowed in regular competition at this time.[11] Four skating was not simply two sets of pair skaters performing together; but rather, four individual skaters performing a single routine. This routine included solo jumps, spins, paired throw jumps, paired lifts, paired combination spins, death spirals – all with an exchange of partners – as well as four-person combination spins, lifts, and death spirals.[11]

Beginning with the 1995–96 season, the International Skating Union (ISU) launched the Champions Series – later renamed the Grand Prix Series – which, at its inception, consisted of five qualifying competitions and the Champions Series Final. This allowed skaters to perfect their programs earlier in the season, as well as compete against the skaters with whom they would later compete at the World Championships.[8] This series also provided the viewing public with additional televised skating, which was in high demand.[8] The five qualifying competitions during this inaugural season were the 1995 Nations Cup, the 1995 NHK Trophy, the 1995 Skate America, the 1995 Skate Canada International, and the 1995 Trophée de France. Skaters earned points based on their results in their respective competitions and the top skaters or teams in each discipline were invited to compete at the Champions Series Final in Paris.[12] Skate Canada International has been a qualifying event of the Grand Prix Series every year since, except for 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced its cancellation.[13]
