Women – Pre-Novice: 22.0 TES

Women – Novice: 27.5 TES
(Men/Pairs/Dance QMS apply per Skate Canada if needed.)
Important:

QMS must be achieved between July 1, 2025 and the Trophy entry deadline.

STARSkate Free Program scores can be used to meet QMS.

Exception: If no PEI skater meets QMS in a category, we may still enter one skater in that category.
