Shae-Lynn Bourne would like to give Canadian figure skating fans a golden gift for the 2010 Olympics.

She has talked with former partner Victor Kraatz about reuniting before the Winter Games in his hometown of Vancouver.

"We've certainly been toying with the idea because of the Olympics coming," she said in an interview Thursday before the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony. "It would be great to skate together again."

She cautioned, "nothing's confirmed just yet. But it would be nice."

The 10-time Canadian ice dance champions and 2003 world champions haven't performed together in five years. If they skate again, it would probably be in a show with Canada's Olympic hopefuls.

"In my dream world, it would be nice to have something a few months before the Olympics because there'd be a buildup and it would show off some of the up-and-coming skaters," said Bourne, 32.

The three-time Olympian was inducted into the Hall of Fame in the athlete-modern category last night at the W. I. S. H. Centre. Hockey player Dennis McCord (athlete-legend), volleyball coach Dale Lahey (builder) and the 1986-87 Chatham Branch 28 Legion major bantams (team) were also honoured. The annual ceremony drew 210 people, one-third of whom were there for the bantam hockey team.

Bourne came home for the festivities from Toronto.

"I certainly have a lot of close people -- family and friends -- I have to thank tonight," she said. "I'm looking forward to it."

She and Kraatz were on the ice together at the Canadian championships in January. They hosted the champions gala and didn't perform, but they went over a few of their steps the night before.

"It just fit right away," Bourne said. "When you skate with someone so long, it jells. It's like riding a bike. You don't forget."

McCord was the first Chatham player to reach the NHL. He played three games with the Vancouver Canucks in 1974, but a knee injury shortened his career.

"I'm just glad it happened," son Kevin McCord said about the Hall of Fame selection. "It's been a long time coming. Wish he was around to see it."

Dennis McCord died in 2005 at age 52. He was modest about his hockey career, but Kevin thinks his father would have been pleased by the induction.

"He wouldn't have showed it, but he would have been," Kevin said.

Lahey, 59, won eight OFSAA medals with Chatham-Kent Secondary School volleyball teams: two gold and four bronze as a head coach and two gold as an assistant. He also founded the Chatham Ballhawks in 1975 with his wife, Ingrid, and still coaches with the volleyball club. The retired high school teacher was excited last night, but nervous about his speech.

"I'm used to speaking to 28 students in class," Lahey said. "Once I get beyond 28, it's more of a panic."

The 1986-87 Chatham major bantams won the Ontario Minor Hockey Association and all- Ontario 'AA' championships. The players brought four generations of fans to the Hall of Fame dinner. They were applauded by their grandparents, parents, wives and children. They came from across Ontario and as far away as British Columbia to see their old teammates.

"That's how special that group of guys was," said captain Darryl Bossence, who is a chiropractor in Barrie. "Everybody jumped at the opportunity to be here."
