Jamie Sale returns as reigning Battle of the Blades champion

From Alex Strachan of the Calgary Herald:

  • Jamie Sale sets sights on another Battle of the Blades victory
    “Today, she has Battle of the Blades on her mind, and memories of winning the competition last year with her Blades skating partner Craig Simpson, an NHL veteran whose chronic back pain forced him into early retirement from the Edmonton Oilers in 1995, at the relatively young age of 28. This year, Sale is paired with former Calgary Flames sniper Theoren Fleury.” Read more.
