Cannington Skating Club has nominated Ivory LaRose as their athlete of the year for the 2019-2020 Season. Ivory just started skating with us in the fall and has made many new friends. Every week Ivory comes to the arena with the biggest smile on her face and she always lights up the room. Her dedication and hard work shows every time she steps on the ice. When she gets a chance, her free time is spent public skating so she can practice all of the skills she is working towards achieving. Ivory is one of the program assistants for our Canskate program and is a very good role model for the kids. If other PA’s are away she is willing to step in where needed. She is very positive on all of the sessions and encourages both her peers and all of the Canskate children to do their best.

She is an athlete that many of our younger players look up to and respect. Brianna is a tough competitor on the ice -and always gives it her all. Her determination and dedication to the sport has made her the player that is is today. Brianna is a leader on and off the ice and is all-round amazing athlete.... She always shows the utmost respect and sportsmanship her teammates, coaches, opponents and officials. Win or lose, she is a positive leader, offering words of encouragement constantly. She rarely misses a practice and is often the hardest working player on the ice. Brianna also juggles many things in her life. She is a dedicated student and participates in many other extra-curricular activities. She also works for the family business. Our coaching staff is in awe of how she balances her school life with academics and sports. She has her priorities set straight! Brianna, we will miss your positive attitude immensely next season.

I have found great friends and companionship in everyone on the team. The coaching staff goes above and beyond to make sure we have the best season each year.
