2021/2022 Canadian Pairs: News and Updates

[puglover]

Anyone know who Zach's new partner might be? https://twitter.com/roeraby/status/1489978454565085185?s=21

Somehow I got the impression that he had quit. I am glad to see that is not so.

Panetta and Thrasher are listed for junior worlds on Skate Canada's international assignments page. Homick and Haubrich didn't make the TES at Bavarian open and I guess there aren't any other junior internationals with pairs for them to go to prior to junior worlds?

 

[Rafter]

Looking forward to watching our juniors today. Can't wait to watch Brooke and Ben and see how they are doing. Anyone know what happened to William St. Louis and his partner?

I too would like to know what happened to St-Louis. He is a big strong pair guy with a lot of potential.

As for Daleman can’t think of anyone. Maybe Audrey Carle?

Bummer for them. She has tons of potential and some star quality but I wonder if she is at all close to landing a triple jump?

I think Carle quit or at least that's what I saw somewhere.

 

[Colonel Green]

Carle would be way too tall for Zach Daleman.

Audrey Carle wasn’t too tall for Gabriel Farand and Daleman looks taller than Farand. But maybe not.

If she has quit that means Catherine Carle is the last sister still skating?

Re: William St-Louis, I just read a badly translated article that says he’s 6’6” tall. That’s crazy tall for a figure skater.
Here he is: https://youtu.be/0tudMxCz5bE

 

[Desperado]

Never mind.

He has been through a lot of partners in a relatively short period of time...

It's being discussed in several other places on the board, but Della Monica/Guarise 100% had the right of way as it was their music that was playing.

Yes but I didn't see it posted on the "free" side.

No question that Eric was completely at fault here.

 

[manhn]

Oh no, James/Radford will likely come in last! Who cares if they performed their personal best, it does not improve the team’s results!!!!

I hope this gives them confidence in the individual and at Worlds. I hope they do another season with stronger music and choreography.

Well you were wrong! They were not last

 

[danafan]

They were not last and they beat Walsh and Michaud's personal best by almost 14 points. It was a no brainer to pick James and Radford for the team.

My apologies photos are delayed

 

[Rafter]

So sad to see that Canadian photographer has clearly picked sides… not one photograph of Eric and Vanessa. Not very professional IMO. So proud to see the have a great skate… good choice Skate Canada!!!!

Which one?

Danielle Earl?

If you are talking about Danielle Earl her instagram page only seems to have Pair photos from the SP. James/Radford didn't skate the short. There are no photos of the FS.

If it's Danielle you are talking about then I suggest you check better before you start making accusations:

Yup - Danielle would never exclude in that way - there are only so many hours in the day and if you are at the rink taking photos all day uploading and editing will obviously happen later. Don't slander our queen of photos

First peek at the new team of Proft/Nadeau:

The height!

We're suddenly deluged with Emma & Nic news:

I have to say, I'm really intrigued to see how this goes. So many pair guys are just load-bearing oxen, he could really be the star of the team in terms of performance.

"Next to skate Vanessa James and her load-bearing ox."

 

[skategal]

Woah loving Proft/Nadeau

Woot! Woot!

 

[Rafter]

If he can manage to make this transition, good for him. Can’t be easy at his age the learning curve is steep (lifts, throws).

 

[Wyliefan]

Load-bearing ox would have been such a great rep level, back in the day.

 

[Cant Skate]

Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere but Chloe Choinard is on Ice partner search.

Ugh not a great day for Canadian pairs...

Doesn't KMT ever regret dumping Dylan? They were such a great pair. Was it really all worth it? If she wanted to skate two Olympic cycles, could she not have skated with Dylan in 2018 and paired up with someone else for 2022? Just seems like she threw away a great partnership for no reason. Her and Dylan could challenge for World medals. Nowadays she can barely make the FS.

As for Eric and Vanessa... just NO. They are not good together at all. Eric has always been a great competitor, but those two don't gel at all. With Savchenko/Masson everyone could instantly see their potential. With these two I see nothing at all

You said exactly what I was thinking about kmt. She could have had 4 potentially successful years with Dylan. Her and mike should be awesome together after 8 years (wow) like knowing the timing etc. I guess we will never know. I actually think Redford and James are ok together. They are just too old now to make an impact going forward. I believe Megan d said on tsl this will be their only season as amateur. I don’t really get it but whatever. Who is going to come up in pairs after this though? Eek the pairs coming up are serviceable but I don’t see any stars so far.
