Even though the podium results of the Canadian Ice Dance Nationals are predictable, this is the chance for these top 3 teams to show their improvements and innovations.
Yep. This is not a small national so it will be seen by the skating world, they have to make a bit of a statement.
Also if Skate Canada has some common sense besides the huge scores they'll give to V/M, I'm guessing they'll want to give quite the numbers to WeaPo ? Olympic bronze in sight. So I don't think they'll be any WeaPo vs G/P kind of situation (like in ACI).
