Shawn Sawyer

This is Shawn Sawyer’s second year on the Skate Canada national team. He is a two-time Canadian Senior Men’s bronze medallist and he won the Canadian Junior Men’s title in 2002 and the Canadian Novice Men’s title in 2000.

In 2002, Sawyer was recognized by his home province in being named the recipient of Sport New Brunswick’s Male Athlete of the Year. Sawyer’s 2005-2006 season was highlighted by his trip to the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin, Italy, where he placed 12th. The native of Edmundston, N.B. also competed in his first world championships in Calgary in March 2006.

One of Sawyer’s favourite pastimes is art and he especially enjoys painting.
