Danielle, Brooklyn and Stacey have all earned spots on this years Manitoba provincial team, as well, Brooklyn and Stacey have qualified for challenge in Missisauga in December. For Brooklyn's level this competition is the end of the road for pre novice ladies so it will be like a nationals for skaters at that level and for Stacey it is a Canadian qualifying competition. She will compete against the top skaters in Canada and the top 18(I believe) will move on to the Candian Championships.
