Congratulations to the new team.
Wow. Jean luc been off a few competitive seasons since skating from. 4-8 years as a senior with Kaitlyn Hawyek doing reasonably well.
He is having a very longevity competitive career.
Wonder how they start duevto him not skating competitively for a couple of years.

Lauriault/ LeGac don't have the best skating skills, but they're very entertaining. And they got a breath of fresh life and more interesting programs when they moved to IAM Ontario last season. Still, the judges clearly do not view them as a top flight ice dance team, at least not in the top ten. La/Le were 13th at 2026 Worlds and 14th at 2026 Olympics.
While La/Le have been as high as 5th and 6th at 4CCs, they only managed 10th at 2019 Euros and 14th at 2019 Worlds prior to switching to rep Canada. Since then, this year was their first time back to compete at a World championships. With all of the Canadian ice dance splits, perhaps La/Le will have a chance to be in the top 3 mix for Canada a while longer. But I could not see La/Le viably leading Canadian ice dance.
With the recent reshuffling in partnerships, I would expect JL and Marjo to become Canadian champs, with La/Le battling the two additional recent Canadian id pairings that have yet to be announced:
Fabbri/ Gaidajenko
Lim/ Lagha
Of course, if Alicia & Marko decide to skate for Estonia, then La/Le would be battling LiLa for 2nd and 3rd Canadian dibs.

While we wait to see Marjorie and Jean-Luc in action, if anybody has an hour to spare and wants a cuteness overload, a YouTube channel about "Just Kidding" uploaded a compilation video last year of pranks that Marjorie took part in when she was on the TV show:

You would just know it was her!
The BBC used to show "Just Kidding" before a programme which I watched. So, I would usually see the last few minutes of it. And I enjoyed it. That said, I would have died of embarrassment if I had been caught out!
(And it could so easily have happened, as the NI edition of the grown-up version of the show, "Just For Laughs", was filmed around the university I went to at the time I was there. 
)
Jean-Luc should always stay alert!

I especially like this because it sounds like the French phrase “là-bas” (over there).It's LaBa

Heads up: Jackie Wong and Michelle Ellis discussed the new partnership announcement. Jackie talks about how he knew early on as his practice cam announcement partner for U.S. Nats is Jean-Luc, and they had been brainstorming ideas for next season. Jean-Luc, of course, wanted to let Jackie know he wa partnering with Marjo before an announcement was made. Jackie offers some interesting insights, plus news about the ISU Congress, and additional skating news.

LOL! I've seen so many nickname iterations for this team, my head is spinning. 
LaJean; MarJean; MaJean; JoieJean; JoieLuc; LaLuc; LaBa; LaBae; MarLuc; LaBake; JoieBaker or Joy-of-Baking; JoJean; JoLuc; MarBae; MarBa; MaJoieLuc; MarjoBakes; MaBa; and even a fan who requested no 'Joie' nicknames, because it sadly reminded her of Jean-Luc's delightful junior partnership with Joylyn Yang. 
The questions are, 'Which nickname will stick?' and 'How many more can fans think of?'
Aside from fan nickname wars, I wish Marjorie & Jean-Luc smooth sailing and No-Stick Bakin'!
Let's Go!

Wow that’s crazy so JL knew as early as nationals - that would mean Marjo and Zach would have probably gone into the last season knowing that it would be their last one together.Heads up: Jackie Wong and Michelle Ellis discussed the new partnership announcement.

No. I don't think it happened as early as U.S. Nats. The decision re the split probably came about shortly after '26 Worlds. Then, later Jean-Luc partnering with Marjorie began to come together. I think Jean-Luc told Jackie sometime in April or early May. Of course, whatever Lajoie & Lagha discussed between themselves prior to or during the season is between them. I don't think Jean-Luc came into the picture as a possible partner for Marjo until after the LaLa split had occurred.

Ah okay that makes more sense. I misunderstood your original post - thanks for clarifying.

Probably because Jean and Jean are pronounced and gendered differently in French and English.I'm surprised no one suggested MarJean yet - I'll put it forward as my suggestion then
I saw Bakerie which I thought was cute too

Bakerie is pretty clever, indeed. 
Now, all we need is for Marjo & Jean-Luc to create an appetizing, mouth-watering, bubbly, warm, loafy, doughy, self-rising, tasty, buttery, pastry-themed or cake-themed program.

Bakerie is just too funny, it has my vote.Well we need to figure it out.. Is it LaBa or Bakerie ? It's already confusing enough for some when we used these monikers if on top of that we have two
