What's interesting is that each of the men came from what was then considered a "lifelong partnership" up until the splits, Bates with Samuelson (2000-2011, from juvenile-senior), Poirier with Crone (2001-2011, not sure at what level they started), and Guillaume Cizeron with Papadakis (2004-2022 actively, from the time they were children). Fournier Beaudry skated with Sorensen for a dozen years (2012-2024), Papadakis only with Cizeron, and Chock was the short-timer with five seasons with Zuerlein and only one short starter partnership before him.

Serial monogamists, all.

I think I'd missed this 2023 article (scroll) where Chock said that Poirier was one of the skaters who contacted her after her split with Zuerlein. (Todd Gilles, who paired with Samuelson or a short time after Bates, was the other.) That would have changed the Ice Dance trajectory had Chock and Poirier made a cross-border partnership.

There’s also going to be a fictional series about an ice dancer called Finding Her Edge.
