"This night is about caring, tradition and excellence," Wylie said at Friday's show.

Wylie said he feels that EWC is a great cause. He has hosted 14 shows and skated in six.

" It was always a wonderful opportunity to give of my time for the benefit of the kids of the Jimmy fund," Wylie said.

Wylie emphasized the enduring success of EWC, saying that it is the longest-running televised figure skating exhibition in the world and noting that 36 different world and Olympic champions have skated at EWC.

"They've continually sold out the show, at least on Saturday night," Wylie said. "All 30 years, they've been able to sustain a pretty wonderful selection of skaters."
