[herios]

The canadian more than crowded ice dance field just got a little slimmer, former senior bronze medalists, and junior champions and current 4CC runner - ups Allie Hann McCurdy and Michael Coreno announced their retirement:

Good luck and all the best to them

I'm sorry to hear it. I thought they made great improvements this last year over the previous year.

Me too. I really wish they could have made the switch to Z/S a year or two sooner. Their improvement was wonderful. But with the success they had two or three years previously , I guess they couldn't have predicted they'd drop from 3rd to 6th and lose int'l assignments and funding.

I hope they'll turn out to be really good coaches and enjoy much success.

This is disappointing and seems very much tied to the loss of funding as they seemed as enthusiastic as ever. I loved their professionalism and temperaments. Hopefully they will get support from Skate Canada in their efforts to become coaches and will enjoy success bringing through a next generation.
