The Skate Canada International is an annual international figure skating competition held as part of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. It is organised by Skate Canada. Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance.
The first Skate Canada International was held in 1973. The 1987 competition in Calgary was the test event for the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. It was incorporated into the Grand Prix Series in 1995.
Patrick Chan of Canada currently holds the record for the most wins in men's singles (with six), while Michelle Kwan of the United States and Joannie Rochette of Canada are tied for the most wins in women's singles (with three each). Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford of Canada, and Aljona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany, are tied for the most wins in pair skating (with four each). Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada hold the record in ice dance (with seven).
The 2025 Skate Canada International is scheduled to be held October 31 – November 2 at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon.[1]
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.[2]
At a planning meeting held in April 1972 and attended by representatives from both the Canadian Figure Skating Association and the U.S. Figure Skating Association, the Canadian delegation 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 U.S. delegation was unaware at the time that the Canadian Figure Skating Association was already in the planning stages of launching their own international skating competition, the Skate Canada International, which debuted in 1973.[2]
