If you were in Quebec City last fall for HomeSense Skate Canada — or followed along from afar via our Chronicles of Le Colisee — you might recall this request from one of last posts from that weekend.
Give us more Marc Ferland.
You know, that former Canadian novice champion with the fabulous pipes, who opened and closed the proceedings in Quebec with two stirring renditions of O Canada (well, I know they gave me the chills).
So guess who did the honours in tonight's official opening ceremony for the BMO Canadian figure skating championships at Pacific Coliseum? None other than Mr. Ferland himself.
Now, we'll admit the reaction to his powerful voice wasn't quite as overwhelming here — you're always appreciated more in your home province, right? — but we're certainly hoping this is the beginning of one of those new traditions Skate Canada has been introducing.
Kind of like this blogging bit, for example.
Of course, we always hoped, when this all started, that the good folks with the association with merely read this stuff.
We never thought they'd actually take our suggestions, too.
Ah, the power of the blog. Well, we can at least dream, right?
