   How Immigration Changed Canadian Figure Skating (and Skates)

   Canada has been a world leader in figure skating for decades, bringing world championship and Olympic medals home dozens of times across many decades. Newcomers have reshaped Canadian figure skating, from coaches, skaters, choreographers, and equipment makers. We speak with Emery Leger, longtime coach and Skate Canada archivist, and Elizabeth Knebli, whose parents were skate-makers to the stars, including Barbara Ann Scott, Toller Cranston, Brian Orser and Paul Martini and Barbara Underhill.
