Steven Cousins, Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman will be back, but the big news is Shae-Lynn Bourne will rejoin the tour as a solo skater! I've always been impressed with her past solo work in CSOI (when she filled in for Kristi/Yuka/Tara in Canada) and have heard nothing but great things about her solo dance number in Celebration On Ice, so this is great news indeed!
I wish Yuka's name was on the list, though--I can't remember the last time she did a tour in Canada (one of the mid-90's Elvis tours?), there's definitely room for one more solo woman and I know plenty of Canadian fans would love to see her!
great news!!! i had a feeling shae would be added, it should be great to see. also, steven and kyoko and john awesome!!!
i was kind of hoping oksana would do the tour, but i suppose she has a wedding to plan! i don't think she's ever skated in canada, for competition OR tour.
Re: Oksana skating in Canada
Oksana competed in the 1994 and 1995 Gold Championships held here in Canada (Kurt commentated both events, BTW), but you're right, brenlynn--she's never toured here.
I hope at least one more woman will eventually be added to the list--to balance out the cast a little more, if nothing else!
Re: Oksana skating in Canada
My memory just sucks lately. I can't remember the event (it may have been one of the early Elvis tours) but Oksana was scheduled to appear but had to cancel at the last moment. It was a very early tour of his, as it included a few of the Russian ice dance teams from the early 90's. As you can imagine, I was terribly disappointed, but IIRC she was replaced by Yuka and Surya Bonaly ... very nice consolation!!!
Other than that, I've never heard of her touring Canada ... like jcspkbfan, I just recall the Gold Championship appearances. I've never seen Oksana skate live
