A number of pairs/dancers have moved in together so that they can train without needing to socially distance, for example Brandon Frazier moved in with the Knierims, and Hawayek/Baker have too, I believe.
That seems to me like a smart move to continue training in these uncertain times

I think I heard (maybe here?) that Deanna and Maxime have found ways to train together as well.
I read somewhere that they were training together, but I didn't keep the reference so I'm not 100% sure. But it sounds like Deanna not to let a pandemic stop her from doing whatever she needs to do!So did Deanna's husband move to Canada with her? I'm glad to hear that Deanna & Maxime have found ways to continue training together.
I'm not sure that Deanna's husband ever moved to Florida with her, when she skated with Nate. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.) If that's the case, I'd expect the long-distance marriage to continue. And Chicago is closer to Toronto than Florida, by a long shot. When international borders are open, Deanna and Mr. Deanna may have an easier time.
I'm not sure of that either. I don't think I've ever heard Deanna talk about her marriage. But she could have just found it easier to drop the "Dudek," or liked the sound of it better without, or any number of things.
Or any skating updates on Mark Bardai or Lubov?
They’re evidently not letting the time away from the ice slow them down too much. Impressive indeed.McIntosh/Mimar sbs 3loop: https://www.instagram.com/p/CDSb-oCpq9r/
Interesting. I’d noticed Justine popped up on Instagram in some of KMT’s posts and wondered if she’d left Montreal. I could see this being a decent match.
What happened to Patricia Andrew and Zackary's partnership? Is Patricia still skating?
Chloe Panetta also seems to be Ontario.
I believe Patricia is still skating but have no idea if she’s still looking to do pairs. As for Zach and Justine this could be interesting. Justine brings more maturity and better jumping to the pair than Patricia, but not sure it’s a step up in the throw department. Granted Patricia only had a throw triple sal with any consistency but Justine has in recent years struggled with all triple throws. Hopefully the new partnership and move to Bruno can help that element become consistent. If so they could be quite good. Hopefully for Zach this works out given I believe this is his 4th different partner in 4 years. It would be nice if this partnership sticks so they can work on the timing etc that comes with multiple seasons together.
With Mark it seemed like part of Justine's problem was how big his throws were; Zach might be more manageable for her in that area.
Good point. Maybe with initially smaller throws she will gain confidence and larger ones will come in time. I like the possibilities for this pair. Like McIntosh and Mirmar unfortunate for these interesting new partnerships to form in a season where there may be little to no opportunity to showcase their development. Let’s hope somehow we get to see our Canadian pairs compete in some way this year, even if only within the province or country and even if without fans.
