Quote from: Wickenheiser
"The First Skate contest, which launches today, invites southern Albertan skating fans to enter a 30 second to two-minute video or 500 to 1,000 word written story for an opportunity to share the first public skate experience with one of three ice skating Olympians on one of three new rinks at Canada Olympic Park."

The abbreviation for Canada Olympic Park is "COP" in this article.  Only the figure skaters would confuse it with the now-defunct term "Code of Points."
