Chairperson Report 2011-2012
Rapport 2011-2012 de la présidente
At our first Board meeting, while evaluating the format of our Section
Annual Meeting, we decided to introduce the Club Development Day
which would be held in September of each year in time for the clubs
to receive all the pertinent information needed to start their season.
The rationale was that it would be more appropriate to have these
workshops in the Fall rather than at our Section Annual Meeting. Our first club
development day was held on September 17 in Dieppe. It was well attended by club
volunteers and section board members which was encouraging for the presenters. First
on the agenda was the Skate Canada Section Tour presented by Barb MacDonald,
director of corporate communications and Annie Bellemare, manager, marketing &
sponsorship. The purpose of this presentation was to share Skate Canada’s past, present
and future initiatives and gather feedback for the purpose of creating greater
awareness, increased membership and enriched business opportunities. This session
was very well received with great participation from the audience. During the afternoon,
news and reminders pertaining to our section, regions and clubs was presented. Again,
this proved to be informative and seemed to fall in line with the expectations of the club
volunteers present. We are in the process of organizing the second club development
day so look for the announcement and make plans to attend.
The 2012 Canadian Figure Skating Championships hosted in Moncton were a huge
success. The skating was fantastic and for those of us who did not get to see everything
live, it was great even from the back of the house. We had excellent volunteers who
offered to add shifts to their already full schedules and they were smiling all week. We
received much praise on the warm reception people were receiving everywhere they
went. Our volunteer team was lead by Paulette Auffrey and consisted of seventeen
coordinators/ supervisors. Many of our local skaters were able to participate as ice
captains, flower retrievers, ice patchers, in the medal presentations and other areas. We
are also proud of our officials who were well represented at this event. The Saturday
was the highlight of the week with the senior events and a packed arena. Our local
skaters had the opportunity to showcase all the programs offered in our Section. Many
positive comments were received on the quality of this presentation. Thank you to all
the skaters who participated as well as to Robert Leger and Janna MacLellan who
coordinated this showcase. Thank you all for your dedication and volunteerism spirit.
With everyone’s contribution, you made it look easy. Canadians proved to be a great
partnership between the City of Moncton, Skate Canada and Skate Canada New
Brunswick Section. The local media was fantastic at promoting the event and getting the
word out that this would be a great show for spectators. Finally, thank you to Emery
Leger who was a great ambassador for figure skating, the New Brunswick Section and
Moncton. We are fortunate to have you as our spoke person. It was certainly an honor
and a great experience for me to be chairing the local organizing committee.
As forwarded to clubs and coaches, we again had to search for a new executive director
in the Fall. Pat was a great help to us as long as she possibly could even at times when
she had begun her new job but even with this support it was a trying time. Thank you
to all who helped with the day to day obligations that had to be met in order for the
Section to function as well as could be expected without our employee. The good news
is that we now have a new employee since February 6, 2012. Welcome to Lise Auffrey-
26
Arsenault who is working from her new office on Champlain Street in Dieppe. We wish
you many fulfilling and successful years with Skate Canada New Brunswick.
In the area of programs, it is a very exciting time. The revised CanSkate program which
has been in the testing and piloting mode over the last three seasons will be soft
launched in September 2012. It is now referred to as the New CanSkate! All coaches
teaching CanSkate must have completed the CanSkate online update module prior to
their club’s implementation. Clubs should be very motivated to implement this revised
version as there are very exciting changes that are happening on the ice. With the
colorful teaching aids, signage, circuits, station rotation, fast track, fun zone and upbeat
music, there is a great deal more movement, action and fun. Pilot clubs have noticed
remarkable progress in basic skating abilities and speed. They also saw an increase in
membership. What a great way to entice more young people to come grow with us!
Thank you to Kim McVey and her team who have piloted this program. Also Kim, as part
of the resource team will help educate and prepare clubs and coaches for the launch of
this revised CanSkate program. Make sure to visit the Skate Canada website in the
Members only to follow the updates on this program.
I want to express my appreciation to the many volunteers who set the stage for our
skaters to enjoy positive skating experiences whether it is at the club, region, province
or national level. If you take the time to read the reports, you will see so many more
activities that have taken place during the year. These have in one way or another
served to enhance figure skating in our Section. Thank you to all who contributed to the
success of these projects. Thank you to the Section Board members and the Executive
for your continued support. Thank you to all of you, skaters, for your hard work and
dedication to the sport, to the families for your continued support and the coaches for
sharing your knowledge and expertise. We have a great combination to produce still
more skaters who will want to grow with us.
The continued support from the Wellness, Culture and Sport Branch of the province of
New Brunswick is always very much appreciated. This year, the extra funding received
for the Long Term Athlete Development project was also well received by the Section
and the clubs who participated in this project. Thank you for this initiative. A special
thank you to our sport consultant from this department, Karolina Wasson, for the
guidance provided throughout the year. It was very much appreciated especially during
the search for our executive directors.
Linda LeBlanc
_______________________________________________________________________
Pendant notre évaluation de la réunion annuelle de la section, le conseil d’administration
a approuvé un nouveau format qui verrait les ateliers présentés annuellement lors d’une
journée de développement des clubs en septembre. Ceci permettrait aux clubs de
recevoir l’information nécessaire au bon fonctionnement de leurs programmes au début
de chaque saison. Cette formule nous semblait plus appropriée que d’avoir les ateliers
lors de la réunion annuelle à la fin de la saison. Notre première journée de
développement des clubs eut lieu le 17 septembre à Dieppe. Plusieurs bénévoles de
clubs et du conseil d’administration de la section y ont participé ce qui était
encourageant pour les personnes ressources. En avant-midi, nous avions La Tournée
des Sections de Patinage Canada présentée par Barb MacDonald, directrice des
communications et Annie Bellemare, gérante du marketing et des commandites. Le but
27
de cette présentation était de partager les initiatives du passé, présent et futur de
Patinage Canada tout en recueillant les commentaires des membres dans le but de créer
un meilleur aperçu, d’augmenter les inscriptions et d’enrichir les opportunités en
affaires. Cet atelier a permis beaucoup de discussions et une très belle participation de
tous. En après-midi, les nouvelles et rappels par rapport à notre section, nos clubs et
nos régions ont été présentés. Comme en avant-midi, ce furent des ateliers qui ont
semblé satisfaire les besoins d’information des bénévoles des clubs. Nous avons
commencé le travail sur l’organisation de la prochaine journée de développement des
clubs alors assurez-vous de prendre connaissance des détails et réservez la date.
Les Championnats canadiens 2012 de Patinage Canada qui eurent lieu à Moncton ont
été un franc succès. Le patinage était fantastique même pour ceux de nous qui
regardaient souvent les événements à la télévision dans les salles de l’aréna ou les
corridors. Nous avons été privilégiés d’avoir d’excellents bénévoles qui souvent offraient
d’ajouter d’autres heures à leur horaire déjà assez chargée. La bonne humeur et les
sourires furent de la partie toute la semaine. Beaucoup de commentaires furent reçus au
sujet de l’accueil chaleureux que tous recevaient. Notre équipe de bénévoles était
dirigée par Paulette Auffrey avec dix-sept coordinateurs/ superviseurs. Beaucoup de nos
patineurs de la région ont eu la chance de participer en étant « ice captains », en
récupérant les fleurs et toutous lancés sur la glace, en réparant la glace, en participant
aux cérémonies des médailles et autres. Nous sommes aussi très fiers de nos officiels
qui étaient bien représentés à ces championnats. Le point culminant de la semaine fut
sûrement le samedi avec les catégories séniors et une aréna pratiquement comble.
Merci au groupe de patineurs de la région qui ont démontré les programmes offerts
dans notre Section. Beaucoup de commentaires très positifs ont été reçu par rapport à
la qualité de cette présentation. Merci à tous les patineurs qui ont participés ainsi qu’à
Robert Léger et Janna MacLellan qui coordonnaient. Merci à tous pour votre
dévouement et votre esprit de bénévolat. Si le tout a été aussi bien réussi, c’est grâce la
contribution de chacun. Le Championnat canadien s’est avéré être un partenariat hors
pair entre la ville de Moncton, Patinage Canada et la section de Patinage Canada
Nouveau-Brunswick. Les médias locaux ont été un apport formidable en communiquant
aux gens que cet événement valait la peine d’aller voir. Finalement, merci à Emery
Léger qui a été un excellent ambassadeur pour le patinage, pour la Section du NouveauBrunswick et pour Moncton. Nous sommes fortunés de l’avoir comme porte-parole. Pour
moi, ce fut un honneur et une expérience sans pareille d’avoir été la présidente du
comité organisateur local.
Tel que communiqué aux clubs, à l’automne, nous avons dû recommencer notre
recherche pour une nouvelle directrice-générale. Pat nous a fourni autant d’aide qu’elle
le pouvait même après avoir commencé son nouvel emploi et ce fut très apprécié. Ce fut
quand même une période assez difficile d’essayer de voir au fonctionnement de la
Section pendant l’absence d’un employé. Merci à tous ceux qui ont donné un coup de
main afin de voir aux tâches qui devaient être accomplies. Bienvenue à Lise AuffreyArsenault qui s’est ajoutée à notre équipe le 6 février 2012. Son bureau est situé sur la
rue Champlain à Dieppe. Nous te souhaitons beaucoup d’années remplies de satisfaction
personnelle et de succès avec Patinage Canada Nouveau-Brunswick.
Dans le domaine des programmes, c’est un temps très mouvementé. Le programme
révisé de Patinage Plus, qui a été l’objet de projets-pilotes menés depuis trois saisons,
sera lancé en souplesse à partir de septembre 2012. Toutefois, les clubs disposeront de
deux années pour mettre en oeuvre le nouveau programme. : Les entraîneurs qui
28
enseignent Patinage Plus devront avoir terminé le module de mise à jour en ligne avant
la mise en oeuvre du nouveau programme dans leur club. Les changements qui seront
apportés aux séances sur glace seront palpitants. Avec le matériel pédagogique coloré,
les pancartes, les circuits, les stations rotatives, les parcours rapides, les zones de jeu et
la musique rythmée, il y a beaucoup plus de mouvements, d’action et de plaisir. Les
clubs qui ont menés les projets-pilotes ont noté des progrès remarquables des habiletés
de base du patinage et de vitesse. Ils ont aussi vu une augmentation des inscriptions.
Quelle belle manière d’attirer plus de jeunes à venir grandir avec nous! Merci à Kim
McVey avec son équipe qui a piloté ce programme. Aussi, Kim, en tant que personne
ressource pour la section aidera à éduquer et préparer les clubs ainsi que les entraîneurs
pour le lancement de ce Patinage Plus révisé. Assurez-vous de visiter le site de Patinage
Canada dans la section se connecter afin d’obtenir les plus récentes nouvelles au sujet
de ce programme.
Je voudrais exprimer mon appréciation à tous ces bénévoles qui travaillent sans relâche
afin d’offrir à nos patineurs des expériences positives que ce soit au niveau du club, de
la région, de la section ou au national. Si vous prenez le temps de lire les rapports, vous
verrez les nombreuses activités qui se sont déroulées au courant de l’année. Ces
activités contribuaient d’une manière ou d’une autre à avancer le patinage dans notre
Section. Merci à tous ceux qui ont rendu possible ces projets. Merci aux membres du
conseil d’administration et aux membres de l’exécutif pour votre appui continu. Merci à
vous tous, patineurs, pour tous vos efforts et dévouement au sport, familles, pour votre
appui et entraîneurs, pour le partage de vos connaissances et de votre expertise. Avec
cette combinaison, nous sommes équipés pour produire encore plus de patineurs qui
voudront venir grandir avec nous.
L’appui que nous continuons de recevoir du département du Mieux-être, Culture et Sport
de la province du Nouveau-Brunswick est toujours très apprécié. Cette année, nous
avons été encore plus choyés en recevant des fonds pour des projets touchant au
développement à long terme des athlètes. Cette initiative a été très appréciée de la
Section et des clubs qui y ont participé. Un merci très spécial à notre consultante en
sport, Karolina Wasson, qui nous a guidé au courant de l’année. Nous apprécions
toujours les bons conseils.
Respectueusement,
Linda LeBlanc

Executive Director’s Report
Rapport de la directrice générale
Most of Skate Canada New Brunswick members remember me as
Chair of the Officials Committee. However, after a brief retirement
from that role, I returned to SCNB as its Executive Director
beginning February 6th 2012. At that time, I worked from home
while awaiting the re-location of the office from Fredericton to Dieppe. Since March 5th,
SCNB is now located at 299 Champlain Street in Dieppe.
However brief my tenure as ED has been to date, I have prepared a synopsis of the
activities I took part in since February.
I organized and attended the Executive meetings of February and March as well as the
March Board meeting. I also attended a Canadian Sport Policy consultation meeting in
Fredericton. Along with Linda LeBlanc, I met with a representative of the City of Dieppe
to inquire on the Certification of Community Organizations by the Recreation and
Recreational Facilities Department.
I participated at the 2012 Provincial StarSkate Championships in Riverview.
I organized and sent out a mailout in March. In the mailout, I conducted a survey on the
preference of SCNB members communication methods. To date, email is the most
popular, followed by mail and website. I am very thankful to have had Marc Robichaud
maintain the website and our Facebook page. He also offered tech support at the office.
He has taught me how to update the website and I will do as required by the Board of
Directors. Remember to visit : www.skatenb.org!
I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the patience and support of all Skate Canada
New Brunswick Members during the re-location of the office. I look forward to working
with you during the 2012-2013 season!

Data Specialist’s Committee Report
Rapport du comité des contrôleurs
It has been a very busy skating season. The Data Specialists
season started with an Ice Calc Clinic in July in Dieppe attended
by nine Data Specialists.
Three Data Specialists, Wendy Stokes, Kimberly Henderson-Berry and Patsy Henderson
attended Summer Sizzle in Waterloo Ontario in August to train with Dr. Peter Wong on
the CSS program.
In September Dr. Peter and Margarette Wong came to NB to give a CSS Clinic in Dieppe,
which was very well attended and lots of information on the CSS program was given to
all who attended.
Our competition season went well with the CSS system running well with only minor
problems that did not cause any major delays in the competition schedule or posting of
results.
Patsy Henderson was chosen as Data Specialist at Canadian Figure Skating
Championships in Moncton and was Chief Data Specialist at Atlantic Regional Synchro
Championships in Summerside PEI.
A clinic on CSS program is planned in September in Halifax for Atlantic Canada with John
VanSchyndel, Skate Canada's IT person and the computer programmer who writes the
CSS program. I hope this clinic will be well attended by our Data Specialists as it should
be very informative and helpful for the running of the CSS program at our competitions.

Competition Committee Report
Rapport du comité des compétitions
What a very busy season this has been. A lot of work and effort
went into separating the information and logistics documents per
competition (and making most of them available in English and
French, whenever possible). There will be an extensive review
done of each of these documents before the next skating season
begins to make them better and more complete. Also with the objective of having them
all posted on the website early in the season (hopefully there will be host clubs for all of
them).
A call for amendments to competition packages was done via the SCNB website and by
email, deadline was February 24 2012. No amendments were received by the
membership and the competition committee submitted 1 which will be presented and
voted on during the AGM. The passing of this amendment will greatly help with the
management of events in the future.
As Skate Canada moves towards the implementation of the LTAD (Long Term Athlete
Development), we must be prepared for the changes as they come down to the Section
level, whether it is the CPC system used at all events, the elimination of certain events
from competitions, or the creation and addition of new events for our competitions.
There were several competitions held this past season 2011-2012:
 SCNB Spring Skate held in Moncton (weekend of April 15 2011)
 SCNB Fall Skate held in Sackville (weekend of Sept. 30 2011); major issue was
that the deadline for competitive testing (October 1st) coincided to fall during
the weekend of the competition.
 SCNB Sectionals held in Dieppe (weekend of Nov. 4th 2011); a presentation was
made on-site about LTAD
 SCNB StarSkate Run-Offs/Adult Championships held in Quispamsis (weekend of
Jan 13th 2012). The portion of Synchronized skating had to be cancelled due to
the incapacity to secure enough officials for the event to be judged. This will be
looked at very closely for next year.
 SCNB Eastern Funskate was held in Dalhousie (Feb 11th 2012).
 SCNB Western Funskate did not find a host club.
 SCNB Provincial StarSkate was held in Riverview (weekend of Feb 24th 2012). A
testing pilot was held at the same time, with only interpretive test being held in
the end.
In general other issues that arose, they were mostly around the Pee-Wee categories
(regarding test and age deadline), this will be looked at closely to find a workable
solution for next season. Another major issue was with dealing with the $10 refund for
applications well completed (especially between Run-offs and Provincials)! It is noted
that is important that any errors or concerns regarding the competition packages be
passed on to my attention. A big thank you to all the host clubs, volunteers and
officials who did a great job and made these events successful!
32
Spring Skate was held in Moncton NB (weekend of April 13-15th 2012) at the Kay Arena.
Two pilots have been added; SC Solo Dance and SC Jump Competition. Following the
competition, feedback on these 2 events will be sent to Skate Canada.
A call for applications to host competitions was sent out to the membership via the
SCNB website, email and mail. The call includes competitions for the 2012-2013 season
+ 2014 SCNB Sectionals and 2013 SCNB Fall Skate. The deadline was March 30 2012.
I would like to extend a big thank you to Nicole Leblanc-Richard for her continuing
support and help. Thanks also go to my committee members, thanks for your
implication.
Respectfully submitted;

Rapport du comité des programmes de
patinage compétitif
The Spring Seminar held on May 7 and 8, 2011 in Dieppe with
Lee Barkell and Joey Russell (3rd senior men, 2011 Canadians)
was a great success. We had over 55 athletes attend from 3
provinces. We were fortunate to have Rokaya Duval (dance),
Ryan Hamilton (sports psychology), Maggie Mackinnon, Alison
Kelly (yoga) and Ken Seaman (off ice conditioning) give
instruction. Thanks to Jackson Wood, Linda Morris, Gabrielle
Cormier, Pat Ketterling, Robb Costello and Carole Thiffault for their help.
On May 6th, 2011 a team session for Skate NB singles team members was held prior to
the Spring Seminar. Additionally, new this year, a special session was held for Rising
Stars (top 3 in pee wee and top 5 in pre juvenile and juvenile at Sectionals). This was
very well received. Travel assistance was offered to Skate NB team members and Rising
Stars from out of town to help defray travel expenses.
Thanks to Jackson Wood for arranging a team dinner in conjunction with the Spring
Seminar.
The Spring Seminar with Lee Barkell and Joel Bond ((3rd junior men, 2012 Canadians)
will be held on May 12th and 13th, 2012 in Dieppe. Thank you for not holding test days
on this weekend. Again, there will be complimentary session for team members (singles)
and Rising Stars (singles). Announcement is attached. Registration deadline is April 6th.
You may contact Cynthia Benson to determine if there are any openings after this date.
A Summer Seminar was held on August 31st, 2011 in Dieppe with Lee Barkell, Ryan
Hamilton (sports psychology), Rokaya Duval (dance) and Ken Morrison (off ice
conditioning). 52 skaters attended which is an outstanding turn out particularly for the
summer. Thanks to Linda Vahtra, Carole Thiffault, Linda Morris and Gabrielle Cormier.
Due to the positive feedback from the Spring Seminar, complimentary jump sessions
were held for Skate NB team members and Rising Stars. It is anticipated that the
Summer Seminar may be an annual event. Mark your calendars for on or about August
29th, 2012.
A number of athletes attended out of province summer competitions in 2011: Jessica
Taylor, Sophie Soontiens, Kassie Costello, Emily Taylor, Chloe Richard, Angel Howatt,
Kelsey McNeil, Gabrielle Cormier, Lexi McGrath, Zoe Gilligan, Lissa Anne McGaghey and
Brittany Rioux. Special congratulations to Lissa for her gold medal in juvenile women in
Quebec and Kassie for her bronze medal in junior women in Thornhill. Angel Howatt and
Lexi McGrath also had medal winning performances at Summer Sizzle in Kitchener.
Monitoring was provided to skaters competing at COS Summer Invitational and Minto
Summer Skate.
Ice was provided at a discounted rate to competitive skaters in Saint John in June, 2011
and in Dieppe in May, 2011. Assistance was provided to competitive skaters for ice time
34
in August 2011 in Dieppe, Moncton and Quispamsis. Thanks to Joanne White, Gabrielle
Cormier, Holly McNeil and Sue Taylor for their assistance in organizing this.
Exposure Award funding is distributed twice per year (for assistance for out of province
competitions and training). Applications are due April 20th and September 14th, 2012.
Application form is attached hereto. Late applications will not be accepted.
PET funding is distributed twice per year (for assistance for Performance Enhancement
Team services, such as, dance and sport psychology). Applications are due April 20th and
September 14th, 2012. Application form is attached hereto. Late applications will not be
accepted. Both Exposure and PET applications are aimed at competitive team members,
but all competitive skaters can apply. Not all applications will be accepted. You must
attend the Spring Seminar in order to be eligible for funding. In keeping with LTAD
thinking, Rising Stars have been contacted and encouraged to apply. Clubs with LTAD
initiatives are encouraged to apply.
Skate Canada’s LTAD model can be found at:
http://www.skatecanada.ca/en-us/development/longtermathletedevelopmentltad.aspx.
2011 Bursaries were provided to two very deserving candidates. Congratulations to
Emily Taylor and Lauren Hildebrand. Thank you to all who applied. The wide ranging
interests and activities, as well as the scholastic achievements and volunteer work, of all
the applicants are impressive. Applications for the 2012 Bursaries are due July 13th,
2012. Announcement and application attached hereto.
An exciting new program Own the Jump was introduced. See attached 2012 Own the
Jump. Athletes will be motivated and rewarded by completion of jumps in non-qualifying
competition. It is designed to push the skaters; they are not rewarded for elements that
should already be in their repertoire, but encourage them to be their best. This is in
keeping with LTAD and the premise that athletes should be working on more difficult
triples at a younger age. Thank you to Wellness, Culture and Sport for supporting Own
the Jump. Thank you to the BC Section for inspiring this.
We reintroduced an incentive program. Team NB skaters were offered the opportunity
to attend a dance recital or concert in order to encourage interest in music/ballet, etc,
i.e. areas that enhance skating. Again, recognizing LTAD goals and that figure skating is
an early development sport, this was also offered to Rising Stars in order to develop
interest in an enjoyable yet educational manner.
A Simulation for the competitive singles team was held on September 24th in
Quispamsis. Thanks to Sue Taylor for her assistance.
Congratulations to Lexi McGrath, Sophie Soontiens, Gabrielle Cormier, Kyle MacNeil and
Emily Taylor for their accomplishments in fall competitions in Ontario and to all who
competed at Fall Skate.
Congratulations to the 62 NB skaters who competed at Sectionals and thank you to all
those involved in organizing another successful event.
35
Ice was provided to Challenge competitors on Nov 11th in Dieppe. Those from out of
town who were unable to attend were given funding. Thanks to Carole Thiffault for her
assistance.
Clubs with skaters attending Challenge were offered $50 to contribute to a
congratulatory send-off party. This is a good opportunity to congratulate the athletes,
motivate others and highlight a club’s success to the local media.
Funding was also offered for guest skating in Regina immediately prior to Challenge.
Skate NB paid the registration fees ($240) for Challenge competitors. In 2012, the
registration fees for Challenge competitors will be the athletes’ responsibility.
Competitors will be required to provide a cheque for the registration fee upon
qualification at Sectionals. Funding will be reallocated to skater development programs,
such as, seminars and new funding programs.
Funding for Challenge competitors based on shares was disbursed following Challenge.
Funding structure for Challenge competitors based on shares for the 2012-2013 season
is attached hereto.
Attached hereto is a new funding program (Skate for Gold 2012-2013).
Thanks to the Coaches Committee (Karen Alexander) and the Judges/Evaluators
Committee (Erica Topolski) for their input on funding.
Also, attached hereto is Competitive Team Criteria 2012-2013 that includes pre juvenile.

Synchronized Skating Committee Report
Rapport du comité des programmes de patinage synchronisé
Athlete Development
Currently there are ten Synchro teams in the NB Section. Each of these teams have 10
– 14 skaters on their team. The NB Synchro Championships were cancelled this season
due to issues obtaining officials. Therefore, in the interest of Athlete development; since
all of the ten teams were attending the Atlantic Championships - each team was given
$200.00 to help offset costs. One of our Beginner teams came first and one of our
PreNovice came second.
Our Adult team will be attending the Skate Canada Adult Championships in
Charlottetown in April.
Officials
Currently we have three active officials in our Section. One of our officials attended the
Friendship Games held in PEI in January. The goal for the upcoming season is to try
and increase the number of officials we have therefore our aim is to have an officials
training clinic.

Challenges:
Staffing competitions and test days continues to be our biggest challenge. We routinely
bring in officials (judges and technical) from other sections for our competitions and test
days. While we have a good group of up and coming officials, we need to continue to recruit
and train new officials. We would like to urge all clubs and coaches to encourage current and
former skaters to consider becoming a judge/evaluator.
Given the volume of complaints about test day staffing and availability, we ran a pilot
program at the Provincial Star Skate Competition in Riverview. For the pilot program, we
booked additional ice time at the facility’s second rink and made sure that we had evaluators
available for tests to run simultaneously with the competition. The pilot program test day
was advertised on the web site and an email was sent to all clubs.
Thirteen interpretive tests were registered for this test session, all of which were skated
during the normal competition.
The lack of response, particularly from regions that feel they are under-served was
disappointing. The Committee is evaluating whether we want to try this again next season or
not. The Committee would like to thank Wendy Stokes for acting as the test chair for this
pilot program.
In the summer and fall of this year, our colleagues the data specialists conducted a series of
training seminars and workshops on the computer system. We would like to take the
opportunity to thank Patsy and her team of data specialists for this work. Not only were
there minimal issues with the computer system at Fall Skate, the logging on and off process
for officials was greatly improved. While this may seem like a minor detail, it is significant for
judges and technical officials on the panel.
Another key challenge for the Committee this year was the assignment of technical
representatives for competitions in the province. Again this year, the same individuals filled
the role of technical representatives. Several competitions involved a number of people
working on smaller pieces of the responsibilities. While this does get the job done it can
cause confusion for local organizing committees and isn’t ideal. The Committee would like to
thank all of people that devoted their time to these task this year.
Finally, a few notes about the 2012/2013 season.
It is already shaping up to be a busy off season for our officials. In June, NB will host a
technical panel seminar for officials from across the country. We will be taking this
opportunity for our current technical officials to re-train and will be offering training to a new
group of technical officials.
We are also looking at hosting a new judges training seminar and level 1 technical panel
seminar throughout the year. The final decision on these clinics will be based on interest and
demand.

Membership Report
Rapport des adhésions
As Membership Chair I am pleased to report that we have 35
clubs registered this year. Some clubs have amalgamated with
others to make it more efficient and more practical for ice
costs and sharing of ice, volunteers etc. within their region.
Some clubs have also had to close down due to lack of
coaching in those areas.
This year only 8 clubs have shown some increase in their membership numbers, and
overall we have a decrease of 434 in membership compared to last year. The biggest
decreases were in the Canskate (245 skaters) and Canpowerskate (140 skaters)
programs. Hopefully with some schools hosting Spring Schools, the membership will
increase somewhat.
Skate Canada urges Clubs to register their skaters as quickly as possible as soon as your
programs start and not wait to end of year to register your members. Skate Canada also
promotes visibility of the sport. The more visible we are, the more interest is sparked in
the communities resulting in an increase in registration. Promote the sport in your
communities wherever you are able to. Let's show another increase in membership!
I have been heavily involved in getting the clubs to work together and communicate
with one another. With the launch of the new CanSkate program coming forward this
year we will strive to increase membership again. With all the cooperation from
everyone, we have made it another great year in Skating!
Yours in skating

Committee members attended STARSkate and Special Olympics Championships which
were held in Riverview and hosted by the Riverview FSC. This is the final competition
for most of our STARSkaters and Regional and Provincial Teams are named from the
results of this competition. The criteria can be found on the Skate NB website.
Congratulations to all the skaters who participated at this event and thank you to the
Riverview FSC and all of their volunteers for hosting a great competition.
At the Provincial Championships I was invited at attend the coaches meeting. I did ask
the coaches for ideas on skater development within the STARSkate, Adult and Special
Olympics programs. Some food for thought:
•
Information session at a STARSkate competition on the CPC system and how to
read and understand the report cards. This would be for skaters, parents and coaches.
•
How to encourage skaters to give back to the sport by getting involved as an
official for an example.
We would also like to send congratulations to Janie McGraw from Patinage St. Isidore
and her coach Mario Richard who represented New Brunswick at the 2012 Special
Olympics Canada Winter Games in St. Albert, Alberta with dreams of gold and
aspirations to qualify for the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Pyenog
Chang, South Korea. Congratulations to Janie for winning Gold in the Level 3 Ladies
Dance event and 5th in the Level 5 Ladies event.

Coaches Committee Report
Rapport du comité des entraîneurs
There has been a coach in attendance at 2 of the NB Board
meetings held this year. When I was unable to attend due to
prior commitments, I have tried to find a replacement, but with
no success. Our coaches committee has had one meeting at the
SCNB AGM in Moncton, at the BMO Sectionals and another at
Starskate Provincials.
At the Sectional meeting we had 18 coaches in attendance. Topics discussed were new
accreditation tags, Pee Wee criteria i.e. age and test deadlines, new test system pilots,
new competitive restructuring, announcing CPC scores at Sectionals, reviewing emails
over the summer/fall that coaches have received as well as inquiring to coaches Reps
whether any of their regional coaches are not receiving emails. Thank you to the
Dieppe for being so accommodating to provide refreshments at our meeting, it was
very yummy and appreciated by all after a long day at the rink.
At the Provincial Starskate meeting, 15 coaches were in attendance as well as Pam
Snow and Lise Auffrey-Arsenault. There was great discussion on a number of topics.
Among topics were test days, number of competitions, inclusion of Pee Wee events,
solo dancing and jump pilot at spring skate, synchronized skating events being
cancelled, competition package, test days at competitions, Raoul Leblanc CPC
workshop/seminar, Lee Barkell seminar, Mariposa Summer seminar and trying to come
up with a solution for lack of judges within our province. I would like to thank the
Riverview SC for all their hospitality provided for coaches, it was wonderful, and was
very appreciated by all.
The ACGM in PEI was a great time to network with other coaches across Canada and
bring back important information in regards to ISU changes to our sport. The
workshops on and off ice provided me with interesting issues to forward to all the NB
Coaches on my return. It was a great to have 9 coaches from NB attending this event.
All attending were very motivated and expressed interest in next year’s event. Of
course the highlight for everyone was having pictures taken with Patrick Chan!
The Coaches year end meeting was the same weekend as the SCNB AGM held in
Moncton. A total of 18 coaches were in attendance, a great turn out. Reports from all
coaching committee members were read or distributed and questions in regards to all
reports were addressed. We discussed non-active coaches, whether all coaches were
receiving emails, ACGM/NCC, NB seminars, continuing to host our coaches’ year end
meeting in conjunction with the SCNB AGM, testing/test days and the new Canskate
program and training.

Eastern Challenge was a learning curve this year in Regina, Saskatchewan. A huge
thank you to our team leaders Ester Richard and Suzanne Watters. We were fortunate
to have had the opportunity to attend an extra ice prior to the event and receive
constructive feedback as well as gathering as a team to support each other. The new
upcoming competitive season will also raise challenges with the new restructuring.
Recently we receive more wonderful news that our Special Olympians brought home 2
medals from the Special Olympics Nationals in St-Albert, Alberta. Congratulations to
Mario Richard and his athletes.
There is one committee when receiving feedback from coaches which needs more
attention is Synchro skating. Feedback from coaches in regards to cancelled provincial
competitions within our province is a main concern, while other Atlantic provinces are
hosting more than one per season.
We have 2 coaches receiving their 25 year pin this year. Congratulations to those
coaches who have dedicated themselves to our sport over the years. They are Janna
MacLellan and Michelle Boutot.
Prior to the end of the spring, there are many exciting events happening around the
province. Lee Barkell is returning in May with Joel Bond, 3rd junior man at Canadians,
the SCNB AGM in Miramichi, Spring Skate in Moncton, NB Coaches year end meeting at
the SCNB AGM, Raoul Leblanc CPC clinic in April, ice shows and the usual spring test
days.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all Committee Chairpersons who have
forwarded me information and answered questions in a timely matter, so that our
coaches can be updated on technical information and changes within our province or
nationally. I think communication has been effective and beneficial.
My past year as NB Coaches representative has been great, and thanks to all my
coaches executive and committee for all their support and feedback. I have let my
name stand for another term and look forward to working with everyone.

Athlete Representative Report
Rapport du représentant d’athlètes
Facebook page:
This year I have put up a facebook page in order to better
communicate information with the athletes. Thus far, 45 athletes have accepted my “friend
request”. I’ve used this page to post quotes of famous skaters and coaches as well as
thoughts and shout outs to those who’ve had great performances after competitions. Also, a
group was formed in anticipation of the April AGM to receive suggestions from the skaters for
the Saturday activity. My next project will involve photo albums, where skaters will be able to
share their ice show, competition or club pictures with me. Furthermore, I will be working
with Marc Robichaud to add a link for my facebook page on the Skate New-Brunswick
website.
AGM activity:
As for the upcoming AGM, I have planned a session with the skaters for the Saturday
afternoon. The session will start with a group discussion on topics chosen by the skaters and
myself. We will also be viewing some of this year’s best skates and finishing with a game of
jeopardy.
Competitions:
This year I’ve attended many competitions including the 2011 Fall Skate in Sackville
(September), the 2012 New-Brunswick Sectionals in Dieppe as well as watched some of the
events of the 2012 Skate Canada Challenge (held in Regina) through skate buzz. I also
volunteered at the 2012 Canadian Championships in Moncton and saw many figure skaters
there who were either spectators or volunteers as well. Countless were very excited and
proud to be a part of the event. Last February I had the pleasure of attending the 2012
Provincial StarSkate in Riverview and will be attending part of the 2012 Spring skate in
Moncton next April.

It has been very busy this year for Region 5. A BIG THANK YOU to all the wonderful volunteers who
are always willing to lend a hand and step in when needed.
Region 5 was the host to 5 competitions in the 2011/2012 season.
 Sackville Skating Club hosted Fall Skate in October skaters in attendance from PEI, NS and NB.
 Dieppe Gold Blades came next with Sectionals for NB and PEI in November.
 The 2012 Canadian Championships took place in Moncton in January and had 300 volunteers
on the go for 10 straight days. Long hours, exhaustion and sore feet mixed in with lots of fun
and an experience we won’t soon forget.
 Riverview Skating Club hosted the STAR Skate Provincials and Special Olympics in January.
 Mariposa Moncton rounded out the year hosting Spring Skate in April.
Region 5 skaters also attended competitions in Quispamsis for Runoffs in January, Fun Skate in
Dalhousie in February, as well as out of province competitions throughout the year.
Thank You to all the host committees who put in tireless hours to make these competitions the
success they were.
The following Region 5 skaters went to Challenge in Regina and we are very proud of all they
accomplished.

Region 5 held a number of test days this season, including a Pilot test day in conjunction with Star
Skate Provincials. Pass rates this past year have been very good. These test days could not be held,
without the dedication of the evaluators/judges from all over New Brunswick, who are willing to
volunteer their time to allow our skaters to be tested. With the high numbers of skaters testing, it
does make for long days, and we truly appreciate it.

Bonjour,
Il me fait plaisir à titre de présidente de la région 7 de vous présenter les activités qui ont eu lieu dans
notre région au cours de l’année 2011-2012.
En décembre 2011 nous avons organisé une clinique de patinage avec l’entraineuse internationale
Sophie Richard et la patineuse Véronique Mallet. Ce fut un succès sur toute la ligne. Nous avons eu un
excellent taux de participation et les commentaires furent très élogieux de la part des participants et
bénévoles.
J’aimerais souligner encore une fois le beau travail que font les entraineurs avec nos patineurs. Les
résultats aux diverses compétitions démontrent bien le travail accompli.
Au niveau des tests, c’est plus de 200 tests de bas et niveau intermédiaire qui ont été faits et grâce à
la collaboration de la région 8 nos patineurs de haut niveau ont pu passer leurs tests dans cette
région. Félicitations aux patineurs qui reçoivent leur «Gold Pin» cette année et merci aux bénévoles
impliqués à ce niveau.
Finalement, j’aimerais souligner et féliciter les patineurs de la Région 7 qui se sont démarqués au

All the clubs in our region have been very active this year.
Membership in all clubs has essentially remained the same this year.
Region 8 held a low and high level test day on December 17, 2011 in Belledune and
March 17-18, 2012 in Belledune to which many skaters from Region 7 and 6 took part.
The Region held three (3) meetings, October 3, 2011, January 16, 2012, March 12,
2011 and the AGM in March 26, 2012. The turnout at the meeting has been very good with
the participation of every club.
Again this season we encourage all the clubs of our region to hold their Canskate clinic
during the months of March and April, 2012.
Skaters from our region have participated at the fall skate on October 1-2, 2011, the
Sectionals on November 4-6, 2011, in Dieppe and one skater from our region attended the
Challenge competition in Regina. Many skaters attended the StarSkate Runoff in Quispamsis
on January 13-15, 2012. We also had many skaters who took part in the Provincial StarSkate
Championship held on February 24-26, 2012 in Riverview.
This year Region 8 offered a skating clinic with Manon Perron which was held in
Belledune held on November 25-26, 2011.
Many of the Region 8 skaters also attended at the Sophie Richard clinic hosted by
Region 7 held in December, 2011.
The Dalhousie FSC also hosted the Fun Skate Competition on February 11, 2012
which was a success.
Section calendars and lottery tickets were sold by all region clubs.
All the clubs held their respective ice show which was held between March 25 and April
21, 2012.
Some skaters from Region 8 will also participate at the spring school to be held in
Belledune.
I would to thank everyone for their hard work and hope to see everyone next season.

Intérêts au sein de Patinage Canada Nouveau-Brunswick:

mon mieux pour servir les membres de notre Section au meilleur de mes habilités et de bien
représenter la Section en toutes circonstances.

CAROLE THIFFAULT
I have been involved in skating since my two girls, Amy and Sarah, began skating 15 years ago. I
have held many positions and volunteered many hours doing various types of work. My family
supports me for all the time I put in as a volunteer. I believe that having parents who have skaters
involved in the programs can give very good perspective at what is being seen out in the skating
world. By having participated in all areas of skating, this will enable me to bring to Skate Canada New
Brunswick new ideas and new challenges while keeping in mind the skaters and how this will affect
them and help them out at the CanSkate, StarSkate and Competitive levels.

Je suis impliquée dans le patinage depuis plus de 15 ans quand mes deux filles Amy et Sarah ont voulu
apprendre à patiner. J'ai porté le nom de plusieurs chapeaux et mis plusieurs heures de volontaires dans
plusieurs travaux. Ma famille me donne beaucoup de support et m'appuie dans le temps que je mets
comme bénévole. Je pense que c'est important d'avoir des gens membres de l'exécutif qui sont actifs en
ayant encore des enfants qui participent aux programmes offerts. Je suis certaines que je pourrai apporter
à l'exécutif de nouvelles idées et de nouveaux défis tout en gardant conscience les patineurs et comment
nos décisions les affecteront ou les aideront autant pour Patinage Plus, Patinage Star et Patinage
Compétitif.

ANDRÉE-JOSÉE DUCLOS
1. Skating background:
I was a figure skater myself for about 9 years (up to high school graduation). I have been an
evaluator/judge with SCNB approximately since 1997. I am currently an evaluator up to the Gold
skills, Junior Silver free skate, Gold dance and Gold Interpretive. Judge at the Novice level in singles,
Juvenile level in pairs and dance. I am currently working on submitting a promotion for Senior singles
and after that, I plan on working on Novice Dance. I have been evaluating at test days within the
province and judging at competitions since 1997. Have much experience as Technical Representative
for many competitions in the past years. I really enjoy all levels that the sport has to offer, from
Funskate, to Sectionals, to Provincial StarSkate to National Championships.
2. Experience at the committee level:
I am currently completing my 2nd year term as the Competition Committee chair. Here is a brief
summary of other committee's within SCNB:
-- For many years was the judge/evaluator (now officials) representative for Region 7. Starting
season 2011-2012 I am back on the Region 7 committee as the Officials representative.
-- For at least 6 years I was on the J/E committee as member responsible for J/E development up to
Gold level.
-- Between 2004 and 2010 I was responsible for the program Lisa's Gift (within the Bathurst Figure
Skating Club)
-- For approximately 2 years I was on the Bathurst Figure Skating Club executive as we added the
Lisa's Gift program as part of the club, in addition to being responsible for Skater Development.
I also currently have experience at committee levels outside of skating:
-- Member and Referral Agent for the EAP program at work (Employee Assistance Program)
-- For many years was on the Social Committee at work
3. Areas of Interest within Skate Canada NB:
I have always been known to have figure skating in my heart and am passionate about it. I strongly
believe that at the end of the day.....it's all about the skaters at all levels! I also strive to do my part
within the sport as it has given me a lot growing up. I have learned a lot in my first 2 year term and
still have lots to learn. Although at times challenging, and time required is not always easy to
manage, I still try to do my best to serve the membership and the skater’s within my duties to the
best of my knowledge. I am curious and willing to continue to challenge myself within the functions as
Competition Committee Chair. With the many changes happening with LTAD (Long Term Athlete
Development) and upcoming new competition structure, I believe I have something to contribute and
will continue to work on offering bilingual documents to the membership (whenever possible and able
to). It has been an interesting 2 years sitting on the Board of Directors of Skate Canada NB on many
levels and I look forward to continue the work for another 2 years.

ANDRÉE-JOSÉE DUCLOS
1. Résumé de patinage :
J’étais une patineuse artistique pour à peu près 9 ans (jusqu’à la graduation du secondaire). Je suis
un évaluateur/juge avec Patinage Canada NB depuis 1997. Je suis présentement évaluateur au
niveau des Habiletés Or, Style libre Junior Argent, Dance Or et Interprétation Or. Je suis juge au
niveau Novice en simple, Juvénile en couple et en danse. Je travaille présentement sur la soumission
de promotion pour le niveau Sénior en simple et par la suite, je planifie travailler sur le niveau Danse
Novice. J’évalue lors des jours de tests au niveau de la province et juge aux compétitions depuis
1997. J’ai beaucoup d’expérience comme Représentante Technique lors de compétitions dans les
dernières années. J’ai une passion et un amour du patinage et ce qu’il offre, que ce soit tant au
niveau des Compétitions Plaisirs, des Championnats de Section, des Championnats Provincial Patinage
Star qu’au niveau des Championnats Nationaux.
2. Expérience au niveau de comité :
Je termine présentement un terme de 2 ans comme la Présidente du Comité des Compétitions. Voici
un bref sommaire d’autres activités/implications au sein de Patinage Canada NB:
-- Pour plusieurs années je fut la représentante des Juges/évaluateurs (maintenant Officiels) sur le
comité de la Région 7. A partir de la saison 2011-2012 je suis de retour sur le comité de la Région 7
comme représentante des Officiels.
-- Pour au moins 6 ans, je fut sur le comité des Juge/évaluateurs comme membre responsable du
développement des officiels jusqu’au niveau Or.
-- Entre 2004 et 2010 j’étais responsable du programme Cadeau de Lisa (au sein du Club de Patinage
Artistique de Bathurst).
-- Pour 2 ans, j’ai siégé sur l’exécutif du Club de Patinage Artistique de Bathurst comme le programme
Cadeau de Lisa y fut incorporé, et en plus j’étais responsable du Développement des Patineurs.
J’ai aussi de l’expérience au niveau de comités en dehors du patinage:
-- Membre et Agent de Référence pour le PAE au travail (Programme d’Aide aux Employés)
-- Pour plusieurs années je faisais parti du Comité Social au travail
3. Niveau d’intérêt avec Patinage Canada Nouveau-Brunswick :
Je suis reconnue comme ayant le patinage artistique à cœur et j’en suis très passionnée. Je crois
fermement qu’à la fin de la journée…..l’important dans le sport est pour les patineurs/patineuses de
tous les niveaux. Je fais de mon mieux pour faire ma part dans le monde du patinage et de redonner
au sport ce que j’en ai retiré comme patineuse. J’ai beaucoup appris pendant mon premier terme de
2 ans et j’en ai encore à apprendre. Quoique souvent un défi, et le temps nécessaire n’est pas
toujours facile à gérer, je fais toujours de mon mieux pour server les membres et les
patineurs/patineuses au sein de mes responsabilités au meilleur de mes connaissances. Je suis
curieuse et prête de continuer de relever le défi comme Présidente du Comité des Compétitions. Avec
les changements futures attendus avec DLTA (Développement Long Terme Athlète) et la nouvelle
structure des compétitions, je crois vraiment que j’ai quelque chose à contribuer et je vais essayer de
continuer à offrir les documents bilingues aux membres (lorsque disponible et possible de le faire).
Ce fut un premier 2 ans de mandat intéressant de siéger sur l’exécutif des directeurs de Patinage
Canada NB sur plusieurs niveaux et je suis positive de le faire pour un autre 2ans.

I have been involved with skating for the past several years as a volunteer. In addition to the
committees/boards that I have sat on, I have also committed countless hours to skating in
Fredericton. This includes assisting with the set ups and tear downs of ice shows. I was an
announcer at the 2009-2011 Capital City Skating Club Ice Shows.
I have assisted in the research into and the purchase of a new Digital camera for the Section, as the
need had been identified to have a good camera at all competitions to take quality photos for the
Section website.

AMENDMENT#2012 - 01
Proposed by: SCNB Competition Committee
Re: Skate Canada New Brunswick Competition Structure and Events
Presently:
At the current time, the competition structure and majority of events at Skate Canada New Brunswick
competitions follow the approved Skate Canada structure and events. This presents a number of difficulties:
-
Skate Canada New Brunswick amendments pertaining to competition structure and events are approved
in late April of every year; however, the Skate Canada amendments are approved in late May of every
year and the technical packages are subsequently only made available to the membership during late
spring and throughout the summer months.
-
During the 2011 Skate Canada ACGM, an amendment was passed by the membership allowing the
Skate Canada board of directors to amend or modify event structures without having to be approved by
the membership.
Proposed:
All technical requirements for, regulations related to and format of Skate Canada New Brunswick
qualifying competitions, championships and invitational competitions shall be approved by the
Skate Canada New Brunswick Board of Directors and published as required in communications to
the membership.
Rationale:
With the numerous changes currently occurring as a result of the LTAD plan and the continuing evolution of
changes that are imminent as the LTAD plan phases in at all levels of competitive and recreational skating, the
Skate Canada New Brunswick board of directors would be able to implement these changes in synch with Skate
Canada.
Implementation: Immediately
100
MODIFICATION #2012 - 01
Proposé par: Comité de compétitions de PCNB
Sujet: Structure des compétitions et épreuves de Patinage Canada Nouveau-Brunswick
Présentement:
Présentement, la structure des compétitions ainsi que la majorité des épreuves des compétitions de Patinage
Canada Nouveau-Brunswick suivent la structure et les épreuves de Patinage Canada. Ceci présente plusieurs
difficultés, entre autres :
-
Les modifications de Patinage Canada Nouveau-Brunswick qui se rapportent à la structure des
compétitions et aux épreuves sont approuvées à la fin avril de chaque année, alors que les modifications
de Patinage Canada sont approuvées à la fin mai de chaque année. Les documents techniques de
Patinage Canada sont rendus disponibles aux membres en fin de printemps et au courant des mois
d’été.
-
Lors de l’ACGA de Patinage Canada 2011, une modification fut approuvée par les membres, donnant la
permission au Conseil d’administration de Patinage Canada de modifier les structures de compétitions et
épreuves sans le besoin d’être approuvé par les membres.
Proposé:
Toutes les exigences techniques pour, les règlements liés à, ainsi que le format des compétitions
de qualification, des championnats, ainsi que des compétitions sur invitation de Patinage Canada
Nouveau-Brunswick doivent être approuvées par le Conseil d’administration de Patinage Canada
Nouveau-Brunswick et publiés au besoin dans des communications aux membres.
Raisonnement:
Avec les nombreux changements en cours survenus à la suite du plan DLTA, ainsi que l’évolution continue des
changements qui sont imminents au fur et à mesure que les phases du plan DLTA sont mis en oeuvre à tous les
niveaux de compétition tant compétitif que loisir, le Conseil d’administration de Patinage Canada NouveauBrunswick serait en mesure de mettre en oeuvre ces changements en synchronisation avec ceux de Patinage
Canada.
Mise en oeuvre: Immédiatement
