Are Lajoie/Lagha planning to compete junior or senior internationally? I'm not surprised to hear that they want to move up domestically but thought they would spend another season on the JGP/have another shot at junior worlds.
I think in Canada you have to move up to seniors if you win the junior title. I assume they'll still want to compete as juniors internationally - they still have like 3 years left of eligibility.
I was told that rule has been relaxed for ice dance because of the different short dances and the junior dance champs can choose to stay in juniors if they want to remain on the JGP. However, the last couple to win juniors without aging out (Edwards/Pang, I think?) chose to move up to seniors in Canada, even with the two different short dances.
New team - Dmitre Razgulajevs and Molly Lanaghan
Unsure what country they will be representing and at what level (guessing Canada as seniors)
Delmaestro/Razgulajevs was posted as hearsay info back in February.
There was a Molly Lanaghan who skated junior pairs for GBR several years ago (with Jake Astill: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00014564.htm ) and then had a short partnership with Joseph Buckland in 2015-16 (don't know if they ever competed together? Show performance from December 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdR2dG1NmsA ) before Buckland teamed up with his current partner, Robynne Tweedale.
Dmitre Razgulajevs' ISU bio says he was born in "Worcester [Mass.] USA" (his father, Juris, was still competing at the time).Was Dimitri born in Canada?
ok thanks..Dmitre Razgulajevs' ISU bio says he was born in "Worcester [Mass.] USA" (his father, Juris, was still competing at the time).

Alexa Linden and Addison Voldeng have announced they are ending their partnership. He is retiring and she is unsure what will come next.

So sorry about this. That was a horrific injury he had and although eventually he most likely can walk and do lots of things it is possible they have told him he will not have 100% mobility and strength. Wish him the best.Alexa Linden and Addison Voldeng have announced they are ending their partnership. He is retiring and she is unsure what will come next.

Ice this yr brings reality of global warming...(not fake news).usually you have a bit of rain in the spring after hard winter....this yr all through winter ..snowstorms..hot days w/lots of rain..then below zero the next day..So many people have fallen and broken bones. Physiotherapists having trouble keeping up.It was a terrible injury made worse by the fact that we can goes for years without ice on the streets around here. This was a terrible winter and a sad way for Addison to end his career.
This one doesn't surprise me...I think this was his last year of junior eligibility.[/QUOTE said:You are right. Cody Wong is no longer ISU Jr eligible.
If I'm right, this coming year(2017-18) will also be the last for, Trent Michaud, Lori-Ann Mate, Mathieu Ostiguy and Steven Lapointe. So, by the end of the coming pairs season, we will see many splits and/or moves to senior.
After that, there will be not many juniors left for 2018-19. Only the Boys-Eddy, Dawson /Reekie and some new couples like Justine Brasseur and ??? and Schumacher/Daleman. I know some others are looking for partners and some may have already found one.
On the other hand, I expect at least 9 pairs this year (2017-18) in Novice with some interersting battles in perspectives. I will drop names when the beginning of the competition season will be closer. There is not much interest in pairs actually except at the international level.

Does anyone know what they are doing??? really loved this pair...
Noticed that a few pairs skaters are off Ice Partner Search:
Allison Eby
Josh Venema
Pier-Alexandre Hudon
Any news on them? Any additional new pair teams that have formed at the junior/senior level? Just curious as it won't be long till the summer skating season gets started!
