I think V/M were selfish to announce their return before 2016 Worlds, so that W/P were already dumped to Canada #2 before the competition started, but that has nothing to do with their actual return.
They were asked to made announcment during Nationals. but they didn't want to take attention from Canadian champions.I think V/M were selfish to announce their return before 2016 Worlds, so that W/P were already dumped to Canada #2 before the competition started, but that has nothing to do with their actual return.
Skate Canada knows the game.They were asked to made announcment during Nationals. but they didn't want to take attention from Canadian champions.
And how could you know WP become number 2 if they were number one in Canada, but didn't show clean skating?

The main problem is that in 2014 WP start talking about "now is there time", but some young teams become better in past two years and this team couldn't compete against them.
It's SC fault, that so many interesting young teams retier, they didn't gave them chance, didn't try to give them chance to made team Canada over GP, PI, WP, who are not unuique and never could won over PC.

Will Bent-Razgulyaevs compete in juniors?
hi PaniThey quit because of WP, GP and PI, who are all time SC darlings and nobody could take there place.

I know it's easier to have specific people to blame for a result you don't like but it's amazing the power VM apparently have. WP were underscored at 2014 worlds, was that VM's fault? What about their tentative skating at 2015 worlds?
Nothing official....fact is they're not registered at any competitions this summer....the word around is that they're not training this summer... maybe they're not saying anything because they're thinking about what to do....Thanks, NotherDance! This is really sad, because this teams will have chance after 2018, but didn't got any support from SC now.
Any officiall information about PO?
Thank you for information. Hope they will return.Nothing official....fact is they're not registered at any competitions this summer....the word around is that they're not training this summer... maybe they're not saying anything because they're thinking about what to do....
I wonder what would have happened to P/O if they had a better result at Worlds, or at least qualified for the FD. Not qualifying for the FD may have seemed like a kiss of death for them.
My thoughts exactly. Of course I am not a dance teknic so I can't be sure but it seems to me they out-skated a few teams that finished ahead of them. Hopefully they have just decided on a short break.(I think not qualifying was the result of a bad draw much more than their actual skating.)
I am so sad about the retirement of O/H. He has always been one of my favorite Canadian male dancers. He had a great partner in Nicole and they looked like a real team from the get go. Somehow he managed to keep himself in top competitive shape and seemed to fit right in as a top senior without missing a beat. Why on earth would they not get all the support that they could possibly get? I, for one, will enjoy watching their programs from last year and dream of what could have been. I felt they had a chemistry that many only dream of - sorry Skate Canada - I don't understand all the issues but I think you let a great team slip away.
I agree @NorthernDancers - you hit the nail on the head with your synopsis.
O/H did not quit because of V/M's return. They quit because they did not see any point in continuing. After winning the Autumn Classic one would have thought that Skate Canada would have given them another international assignment. But they did not offer them anything. They had one domestic competition (SC Challenge) between October and January. They found it hard to justify investing the $$$$ in another year when it was obvious to them that they were not being supported. I heard that their coaches begged them to reconsider their decision and were/are extremely disappointed about this whole situation.

ITA. I was convinced that after 2018 Orford/Hill would be the team to fill the void after V/M`s and W/P`s retirements. For me, they were clearly the future of Canadian ice dance. Skate Canada should pray that a talented junior team pops somewhere up, otherwise they will find themselves in the same situation as Russia has been since the retirement of Navka/Kostomarov.
