Olympians to bring ice show

Canadian figure skating royalty will be coming to the South Okanagan Events Centre this fall.

Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir announced the Rock the Rink tour Tuesday, combining the highest level of on-ice superstar talent with live music, video, lighting and interactive technology.

They will be joined by fellow Canadian and international Olympians Patrick Chan, Elvis Stojko, Jeremey Abbott and Kaetlyn Osmond among others.

The show stops in Penticton October 6, part of a coast-to-coat Canadian tour.

“Last year, we rode the Olympic wave and carried the momentum through the Thank You Canada tour – a fulfilling project that truly allowed us to connect with fans coast to coast,” said Virtue.

“This year, it’s critical that we elevate the production and generate authentic entertainment in new and creative ways. Scott and I have spent our career striving for more, taking risks, and daring ourselves to be better...our approach to this is no different.”

Moir says the goal of the show is to be something that “fans of skating and live entertainment will look forward to year after year.”

“We want to give people a memorable experience and broaden the scope of what can be done in the show skating realm,” added Virtue.

Tickets go on sale May 3 at rocktherink.com.
