Orser builds most successful skating program in the world at Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club
It started inauspiciously enough in 2006: A 15-year-old Yuna Kim, fresh off winning the world junior title, started to train with Brian Orser at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club. Four years later, Kim was Olympic champion, Orser was on top of the world, and the Cricket Club became the place for elite skaters to train. A raw but talented 20-year-old Spaniard named Javier Fernández arrived in 2011; the following year, 17-year-old Yuzuru Hanyu, who had just won the world bronze medal, moved to Toronto to work with Orser. Over the next several years, those two would produce some of the greatest performances in the history of men's skating and combine to win three Olympic medals and four world titles. His reputation firmly established, Orser continues to attract the best of the best: This past off-season, two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva of Russia, two-time world bronze medalist Boyang Jin of China and 2015 U.S. champion Jason Brown all made the switch to the Cricket Club.
