Canada’s Messing leads after men’s short program at Skate Canada
LAVAL, Que. — Newly engaged and with his first Grand Prix figure skating title within reach — Keegan Messing couldn’t find words to describe his elation Friday night.
“Cloud 9” didn’t quite cut it.
“I’m above the clouds,” Messing said through a wide grin.
The Canadian is the leader after the men’s short program at Skate Canada International, less than a week after he asked the woman he loves — Lane Hodson — to be his wife on an Alaskan mountain top.
