Canadian skaters placed well at last weekend’s Eastern Seaboard Series season opener in Trexlertown, PA.

The pro women’s field saw a Canadian sweep by Martine Charbonneau and short track speed skater Valerie Maltais.

Toronto’s Herb Gayle was able to step on the podium in the Pro Veteran’s race while Montreal’s Steve Robillard stuck with the pack in the pro men’s race.
