William Josling

Chatham Skating Club member, William Josling, has qualified for the upcoming 2025-2026 Skate Canada Trophy event, being held February 5-8 at the RBC Centre in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Josling is one of nearly 300 skaters from across the Canada who will take part.

The national event brings together the former Novice Canadian Championships and Skate Canada Challenge – Pre-Novice/Novice events under one umbrella.

The event features Canada’s top up-and-coming talent in Pre-Novice & Novice Men’s and Women’s Singles, Pairs & Ice Dance.

Josling, 16, secured his place for the event, after a third place finish in the Novice Men’s division this past December at the Skate Ontario Sectionals event in Wasaga Beach, Ontario. He was third in both the Short and Free Programs, with a total score of 128.82.

This is Josling’s first year competing at the Novice level, after moving up from Pre-Novice Men last season where he placed second, overall, at the Skate Canada Trophy Event in Edmonton.

Josling represents the Chatham Skating Club and still has close ties to his previous coaches but has moved his training to the Brant Skating Club this season.
