Paul Wylie- Where is he now?

[OrioleBeagle]

Where is Paul living now? Is he back to doing choreography after getting fired in Lake Placid?

 

[Wyliefan]

It's news to me that he got fired. What happened?

 

[OrioleBeagle]

Paul stated in an interview that Lake Placid parted ways with him because they wanted to go in a different direction.

When did he get fired from Lake Placid? I did the adult skating week in August and he was there.

In this March 2024 interview with North Country Public Radio, Wylie has been “coaching skaters a few times a month in places such as Potsdam, Ogdensburg, Norfolk, and Massena - in addition to near his home in Lake Placid.”
