Sudbury's Jeff Buttle, recently crowned
Canadian men's figure skating champion, will be coming home
March 5 to perform in the cast of the Kleenex Celebration on
Ice in Sudbury.
The show, which will also be presented at
North Bay's Memorial Gardens on March 4, takes place right
before Buttle represents Canada at the World Figure Skating
Championships in Moscow.
The inclusion of Buttle brings the number of
Canadian champions in the show's cast to an impressive six,
with four of them, Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, Brian Orser and
Shae-Lynn Bourne, also being former world champions.
"By the first week of March, I'll be
ready for Moscow," said Buttle. "The opportunity to perform in
front of two enthusiastic crowds with so many great Canadian
skaters right before the Worlds will hopefully give me a little
extra edge."
