Canadian Pairs 2017/2018 Season News and Updates

[RoseRed]

The thing is, do any of these junior pairs have side-by-side triples? I can't remember which jumps Matte/Ferland were doing last year in juniors. (Whatever they were, they were not consistent with them ...) And I don't believe Marvaldi/Villeneuve had SBS triples when they were skating for the U.S.; but maybe that's changed??

I believe only Choinard/Ostiguy, at least as far as we've seen in comp. Since Marvaldi/Villeneuve are still junior eligible (he doesn't turn 21 until July 2nd), if they don't have at least one yet, I would think juniors might be a good choice for them this season.

ETA: is this a double or triple? I can barely see it on my phone. https://www.instagram.com/p/BiF_ulRFsuo/?hl=en&taken-by=dmwvilleneuve_

I believe that is a triple toe.

Also interesting to note Steven Lapointe former partner, Chloé Panetta is now with Benjamin Mimar, probably in junior.

Also William St-Louis who was last year with Veronique Turbide in novice is now with Laurence Cormier. I don't think she had previous pair experience. My guess is they will be in Novice for this season.

What is Equipe B mean??

 

[DFO]

IIRC, Équipe B is for single skaters who were in Novice or pre-novice and Dance and Pairs that were in JR, Novice or pré-novice.

Thanks for the criteria. I wasn't sure where this was putting the skaters I follow and how they would compete(or not)this coming season.

And if you Wonder who are on Québec Team Équipe A, here they are:

Thank-you so much....I looked on Patinage.Qc.Ca avidly and only found last years. So I think most everyone I have noticed and am sorta following (in all 4 disciplines)are on one or the other lists which is good. I am only missing one in dance Claudio Pietrantonio who apparently did find a new partner and would be Senior this season. His ex-partner Alicia Fabbri is on the B team with her new partner. Everyone on the A team for dance skates at Gadbois.

Do we know if Claudio's new partner is Canadian? I believe he said in his IPS bio that he was open to skating for other countries (was it Italy specifically?).

I don't remember that. I know they both said they would not relocate. I have no insider info. It was someone on here who said they both had found partners and I got the name of Alicia's from the B list provided by DFO.

Lubov Ilyushechkina will be joining @Cirque du Soleil! Lubov took this new challenge after her partner Dylan Moscovitch retired from skating in April. She is looking forward to this unique opportunity that Cirque will provide to further enhance her style of performing!

Best of luck to Lubov as she begins this next phase of her career. She should bring a lot to the Cirque skating show.

Claudio Pietrantonio has teamed with Loriana Cocca, a synchro skater with Les Supremes Juniors, the 2018 Canadian Junior champions, after skating for nine years with Les Pirouettes de Laval:

It may be presumptuous, but I assume she's Canadian.

ETA: Ilyushechkina was made for Cirque du Soleil!

 

[clairecloutier]

I will really miss seeing Luba in competition. I had hoped she would continue with another partner. But I'm glad she has this great opportunity with Cirque du Soleil.

Me too...but I don't think there is anyone out there available for her skillset. I did hope though we would see her behind the boards passing on those beautiful lines ,athletic ability and work ethic. It is definitely Canada's loss. I hope she truly enjoys the Cirque and has a wonderful time. She so deserves it.

I'm not sure whether to cheer or to cry, but I wish her the best!

Okay, I know this is the pairs thread, but . . . no Weaver and Poje? Did I miss an announcement?

https://mobile.twitter.com/SkateCanada/status/1002619911699607554

Looks like Cirque du Soleil's newest show includes ice skating. . . so we may see her in BOTH skating and acrobatic roles.

If this is true, I'm down for it! She might be the boost they need next season!
Although tbh, I wish they'd call up Luba so she can teach them about extension in the lifts.

extensions and lines in everything would be good from Luba..along with most of the elements. Oh well. I guess it was not meant to be. We all have to eat and have a roof over our head and the need for plan B jumped it's timeline by a year.

 

[manhn]

Why can't Duhamel teach skaters extension and line? That is like thinking Luba can't teach skaters to learn how to jump consistently.
