Stellar skating performances wow audience at Tofield ice carnival

publisher March 28, 2013
Christopher Mostert spins his Junior Pairs partner Taylor LeClaire during their breathtaking Novice Pairs routine that won them the national bronze medal in Novice Pairs in January.

The usually wonderful ice carnival put on by the Tofield Figure Skating Club has outdone itself this year with the return of former club member Taylor LeClaire, who recently won bronze in Novice Pairs at the Canadian Figure Skating Championship 2013 with her skating partner Christopher Mostert.

It was a chance to see what the home-town club had helped to foster during LeCLaire’s younger years, having started at the tender age of four to learn figure skating.

After almost a decade with the local group, the 15-year-old moved on to start training with the Ice Palace Figure Skating Club at West Edmonton Mall. It was this club she represented with Christopher, 17, of St. Albert when winning the bronze in January.
