Melissa Piperno and Liam Dougherty

[GSK8]

Here's an [b:68401ae8da]article[/b:68401ae8da] (http://goldenskate.com/articles/2001/080102.shtml) on the youngsters, who have both just turned 18. They are now aiming to make the Junior World team for this season and anticipating competing in Junior Grand Prix events.

I know Mel and Liam are going to Minto, which is probably why they didn't tell me about this article!! I'm so happy to see one being done on them, I truly feel they are a team to watch, and this yr they are going to take the Jr world by storm :) Thanks for doing an article and I'll be sure to add it to the site :)

They had a great freedance at Canadians this year ... and yes, their chances for a berth on the jr. world team this year are looking better and better, especially with the recent split of Granata/Yaeger. Which is a real shame because I was looking forward to the two teams battling it out and making each other, better competitors.

It will be interesting to see who Skate Canada chooses to send to Junior Worlds between Flynn & Gislason and Piperno & Dougherty. A lot will depend on JGP results I'm sure.

I'd like to thank you all for posting about Mel and Liam. I am sure they are kind of flattered to see their names being posted. I know they'd love it if you all came and joined their Yahoo Group :)
