There is a rumor that Morgan was seen doing a tryout with Nick Traxler.

Well that didn't take long! You know, they might not have been a favorite of mine at Nationals but they still had potential I thought.
Well I hope he enjoys himself in whatever direction life takes him and I hope Morgan finds the right partner for herself. It must be frustrating for her.

how many partners has this girl has already? She will never reach her potential if her partners keep leaving.

2. She was with Zavozin for 6 years and Gislason for 2 even though they only just started competing.

Well, I understand that she was the one who left Zavozin because she felt that he was holding her back.

AFAIR, there was also the fact that Zavozin's mother was their coach (not always an ideal situation when there's any kind of problem in a partnership.).
Here's the usfs article on the subject of M&Z's breakup. Not much in the way of facts there.

Not really. For many teams the season was over after Nationals. I know for ice dancing, since the end of January, ten teams that competed there have broken up. A few pairs teams have broken up as well, but I don't have an exact number. I want to say that it's been at least 5 teams that I've seen on the partner search website. (And that's just for the US. Canada has seen their fair share as well)

What?! They already split? Ugh 
I really enjoyed them. I hope Morgan finds a partner and gets a chance to excel. I wish Leif the best of luck in whatever he decides to do.

I wish Leif the best of luck in whatever he decides to do.Morgan & Leif were actually together for about 2 years, even though we saw very little of them. According to an article I saw on Ice Network, they didn't compete because they were trying to get citizenship for a country they could both represent internationally. When that fell through, they made the decision to try and qualify for US Nationals.
I watched an MTV documentary called Ice Queens and recognized Leif as the choreographer for two of the single skaters they were highlighting. Maybe he's decided to be on the other side of the boards now.

if the rumor is correct and Morgan was tryig out with Nick Traxler, then does it mean that he also spit with his partner? He is such an amazing dancer.

Do you mean Canada (Leif) or the U.S. (Morgan), or were they sending out feelers to places like Uzbekistan?
The article said they looked into representing Canada, but USFS would not release Morgan to Canada. Then they looked into Azerbaijan citizenship, which I guess would not require a release authorization. It sounds like they would have had to spend X amount of time training in Azerbaijan though to meet their residency requirements.

I hope Morgan can find a serious partner as she seems so motivated to do well and work hard. Good luck to her.

I happen to enjoy Mathews approach to Skate Dancing. She is a very unique Follow. The closest lady I would say in that category is Maddison Hubbell.
