Canada's Olympic figure skating hero Patrick Chan was at the Richmond oval Wednesday morning to sign a replica outfit for charity and skate with up-and-coming stars of the sport.

Chan put his mark on a replica of his short program outfit before presenting it to Natalie Meixner, president and CEO of the Richmond Hospital Foundation.

The outfit is now on Ebay for auction until May 24, with all proceeds going to the hospital foundation.

Chan was also presented with a jacket from one of his sponsors, Aspac Developments, to mark him becoming the first member of their exclusive leisure club at the River Green property adjacent to the oval.

After the presentations, Chan skated for a short while with young members of the Kerrisdale Figure Skating Club, some of whom showed off their talents on the ice to their hero.
