Kurt Browning starts his farewell tour with Stars on Ice in Halifax on Friday, April 28. - ContributedKurt Browning's connection with Halifax figure skating fans is undeniable.
"I will tell you a story," said the charismatic Browning."Norm Proft, I want to mention his name because I want him to get in trouble if I get in trouble for telling the story. We were there in the arena and it had no ice. I don't know how we got into the place because it was late, after the Five Fishermen or Split Crow. Who knows where we were? We end up in the arena and worlds were going to be there, so I wanted to get in and feel the place.
"To have 10,000 people sing 'O'Canada' when worlds happened that was a moment I will never forget," said Browning, recalling the moment on the podium as a 23-year-old world champion. Other performers include two-time world medallists and two-time Canadian dance champions Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, Olympic silver medallists and 2023 world champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates and Olympic silver medallists and world pair champions Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier.
Browning said it's easier now to make sense out of a career that sees him still performing at the age of 56.
