Just want to celebrate here the ice dancing career of Sales/Wamsteeker. Really liked the vibe of this team; good energy, great lines and wonderful on-ice connection. Although I feel like they have plenty more that they can accomplish, Nikolas has serious dreams that shouldn't be denied. Can't get enough of these two and hope that they continue to skate in shows, schedules permitting. Audiences will show them the love. Canadian ice dancing is no joke in terms of depth of talent.
Best wishes to them both and thanks for your contribution to competitions. You were a great team to watch on the ice!

I've known both of them for years now and will definitely miss seeing their smiling faces at the rink, and happy to call them both friends. They are super passionate about the sport and it was great to see them move up in the sport. I know they still plan being on the ice, but they're both full time students so makes training hard.

U.S. Juniors Pham/Rogers have split, per their Instas. Achieved quite a bit in their partnership while active students. Lots of good things from this team. Skated very well this year.
Would not be surprised to see Vanessa try with Jeffrey Chen. Will see what Johnathan does.

Here's Sam's original post:

Another of my kids retiring.
But, this one has extra significance because, like me, Sam is from Northern Ireland.
After Jenna McCorkell retired, the honour of being our top skater competing on the international circuit passed to Sam. And he has done us proud.
Now, the baton passes to Sam's training mate, Dillon Judge. And I look forward to see how he gets on with both Sam and Margaret in his corner.
Dillon ages out of Juniors at the end of this season. So, don't worry, the retirements of both Conor and Sam will not mean that Ireland is left with nobody to compete in the Senior Men's category. Dillon will be able to come in and fill the void.
I wish Sam all the best for the future.
Thank you for everything, Sam.

Is it true that Slovenia's Dasa Grm announced her retirement after Worlds?
Someone told me they read it on twitter, and checking her insta, the comments on her latest post sound a bit like it. But I haven't found anything official from Dasa herself.

Farewell Dasa and thanks for skating all these years! I will miss you and your beautifully (self-)choreographed programs.
Dragon Trophy will never be the same anymore.

Milla O’Brien & Laurin Wiederkehr (Swiss Jr. ice dance team) have split. Milla's family have relocated to the US, so sadly the team cannot continue together.
