Ideaca Knowledge Services, a leading Information Technology services company that provides business application solutions to the Canadian market, announced today the signing of three Canadian amateur skiers to multi-year sponsorship agreements. Ideaca will be supporting Canadian athletes Kristi Richards, Kyle Nissen and Larisa Yurkiw for the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 season.
Kristi, a mogul skier from Summerland, British Columbia, is the 2007 World Moguls Champion. She is currently ranked fourth in the world following a successful 2007/2008 season which saw her reach the podium three times on the World Cup circuit, and capturing the 2008 Moguls Canadian Championship in March. Kristi is looking continue her consistency leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympics in her home province of British Columbia.
Kyle Nissen, who resides in Calgary, Alberta, is a member of the Canadian Aerials Team, who will be looking to make an immediate impact after sitting out the 2008 season with an injury he sustained the previous year. Prior to his injury, Kyle was impressive in 2006 finishing 5th at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, as well as finishing 5th overall in the Aerials World Cup Season. Outside of skiing, Kyle will be gaining valuable work experience thanks in part to his agreement with Ideaca, something he views as a great opportunity.
Larisa Yurkiw has been a member of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team since 2005. The Owen Sound, Ontario native had a positive 2008 season at the Pontiac GMC Championships finishing first in the both the Downhill and Super G competitions.
