In an Edmonton Journal article today (don't see it online -- must be only in the print edition), Ben Ferreira says he's moving to the Mariposa Club to train with Doug Leigh.

He said it's just time to move on; there were no problems at the Glenora. He (or the article -- working from memory here) said he's been with Jan Ullmark since he first started skated at the age of 12 and it's just time for a change in an effort to take his skating to the next level. Sounds like he's definitely planning to stick around the eligible ranks for a bit, anyways!

Someone on skatefans who also read the article (and has a better memory than mine) said that Jan Ullmark will be at Worlds with Ben -- guess the change isn't quite 'complete' yet...

Wow!! I knew something had to happen if he was going to continue on, but moving out east didn't even cross my mind. If anyone can help Ben get that quad, it's Doug Leigh. Thanks for the info Lee.

Look who's skating out of Mariposa next year - Takeshi Honda, Ben Ferrera and Jeff Buttle. It'd be worthwhile to take a drive to Barrie just for practice sessions!

What a line-up!

April 6th is the Barrie Carnival.
The Mariposa Gala is in August.

Although I know you'll enjoy the Barrie Carnival, the Gala you do *not* want to miss! :D
