2025–26 Canadian Ice Dance: News and Updates

I may have missed it but are Gilles/Poirier doing any competitions before the GP series? Seems awfully quiet on their end?

I don’t think so, they haven’t done any Challengers or Senior Bs for a few seasons now. I remember seeing something about a program announcement coming soon?

They've been in the "no more Challengers" phase of their career for a few seasons now.

Lauriault and Le Gac: Fast Out of the Blocks - Bev Smith Writes

It’s Olympic season and ice dancers Marie-Jade Lauriault and her husband, Romain Le Gac, refuse to sit still. It’s not what ice dancers do, after all. For one thing, they have some corners to turn, some catching up to do, some eyeballs to impress. After finishing second at the Canadian...

I hate this team. That was evil from Nadiia in middle of season left her partner and coaches who help help her reach success. Hope that Peter will find better partner in Canada and will get better results than Bashynska/Perron

this is vile.

You clearly have a personal connection to the coaching team or Peter Beaumont. Your behaviour reflects incredibly badly on them. This is not the space for your personal grievances. Take them elsewhere.

Huh, when they were training primarily in France I assumed that country was going to be the one they competed for, even though Nadiia was obviously the more successful one of the two in prior partnerships. Glad to still have her under the flag.

After we gave Laurence to France so speedily, one assumes the French fed won't make trouble for them.

Yay!! So happy they will represent Canada.

I was hoping they would.

Wow. Someone's really bitter & upset that Nadiia realized Carol Lane's school isn't producing good programs or results for any teams not named GilPoir - which makes me believe that GilPoir's success is far more on they themselves as mature skaters with a well-developed identity than it is on Lane & her team.

If Canada manages to keep 3 spots for worlds going forward I can see them managing to get one of those spots quite soon if they can develop quickly as a partnership. Maybe even be in a position to go after that 3rd 4CC spot this year?

his last comp for France was Egna Dance Trophy on February 7th, so idk how close it'll be for 4CC. hopefully he can get his release soon.

4CCs is in January this season There are some minor FS competitions scheduled the first weekend of the Olympics and the last weekend of the Olympics but no major ISU Championships during February this season.

Euros - Jan 13-18
4CCs - Jan 21-25
Jr Worlds - Mar 3-8
Worlds - Mar 24-29

Likely GP and LaLa have a lock on the top two spots, and the way they're skating so far this season the 3rd spot is almost certainly LauriaultLeGac. However I think it's likely that GP would skip 4CC due to it being in January in Beijing and so close to the Olys in Feb in Italy. Perhaps even LaLa will skip it too. So a good chance for BashPerron to get to 4CC if he gets his release.

I don't that's possible, as 4CC will be less than a year from his last international event for France.

Precisely.

The past couple of Olympic cycles, the US & Canada have not sent their Olympic team members to 4CCs and I don't see that changing this season. Seems a reasonable expectation that the #4-6 dance teams at CanNats will be the 4CCs team.
