My competition notes from 1996 Skate Canada, the parts about Jayson. These are excerpts from what I posted to skatefans and my own notes not posted.

This was my first competition to really see Jayson. I had seen him compete at the Junior level at 96 Canadians but I didn't take any notes and only saw the competition so it was a bit of a blur. I remember thinking to myself to remember the names Collin Thompson, Jayson Denommee, Ben Ferierra, and Emmanuel Sandhu. I guess I know how to pick 'em.

Practice Notes

I like what I have seen of Jayson Denomee, nice carriage. Steven Cousins, Takeshi Honda, Jayson Denommee, and Andrei Vlatchenko were trying many triple axels with limited success. Jayson seemed to spend a great deal of his practice time getting very discouraged over triple axels. He did a really good run-through of his short program in practice the day of or before and I liked it alot. To me, it was very Kurt-like, in the style of Bonzo's Montreaux. Zing, I'm won over.

Short programs

As I said, I really liked Denomee's program but he just lost steam by the end and the program sorta fell apart. He fell hard on the opening triple axel and then fell on the triple lutz as well. Too bad but I still think he's going places.

Long program

He put his hand down on the triple axel but got the double toe. Fall on triple flip and the second half of a triple toe-double toe was a bit scary. Then he seemed to get his feet under him, fine triple lutz-double toe, flying sit, double axel from spread eagle, flying camel, spirals and inas, and squeaked out a triple loop. Good combo spin at end.
