2025-2026 Canadian Figure Skating

[crystalspin]

Just watched Anthony's youtube video, I'm thankful for his transparency and wish him well! Hearing he was in pain the whole season and just kept going until his body couldn't any longer is so tough to hear, happy hes not in serious pain any longer. He deserves to have a great senior debut.

This is exciting! Obviously has work to do but she has great height and rotation speed. Like most skaters I'm sure it'll take her a couple of years to get it consistent in competition, but it looks promising.

So that's SMD and Reese attempting 3As, are any other Canadian women that we know of working on them?

Lia.
Uliana did

Also, Maddie tried some 3A’s in a show

Lia Cho’s best attempt is 3A<< so far

I really wish Gabby or Fee Ann would try to practice landing a 3A. They have great height on their triples…

 

[4everchan]

I think Fee Ann might. One of the best double axel in the business. She has the power and height to have a truly beautiful 3a.
I don't think Gabby will at this point. She may have done it a while back when Alaine was trying them if she felt she could do it.

Gabby : I could have seen her try a 4toe... but actually her axel is sometimes wonky.

No....

 

[Cutting the ice]

It sounds like retirement. Not just a split. Too sad for words.

 

[4everchan]

and I was so excited to see my LaLa waltz.

 

[4everchan]

I read the comments and now I am crying. Yeah... that's a first for me, crying for a split/retirement post. I never thought it would happen to me but those were my LALA !

The last few weeks have decimated pretty much everything in Canadian (and Japanese) figure skating I have cheered on for the last 4-8 years.
Sigh.

Dion/Cote (Junior) - they posted working on a 3LzTh recently on Instagram
Ranzi/Legault (Junior) - on NextGen, won Trophy
Oreshkin/Furman (Junior) - on Equipe B in Quebec
Vigneault/Rasoanaivo (Junior) - they're Equipe B in Quebec, which for Pairs means that they're Junior, they won bronze in Novice at Trophy

Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps - not on the Quebec lists
Ouellette/Laliberte-Laurent - also not on the Quebec lists
Secunda/Ferland - not on the Quebec lists

Split
Schmitz/Eberl - Raine posted his retirement in December 2025

Women looking for partners (confirmed)
Kelly Ann Laurin
Beau Callahan
Julia Quattrocchi
Cristina Lyons
Coralie Plante
Rachel Martins (she's listed for both Ice Dance and Pairs on Ice Partner Search)
Fiona Bombardier
Martina Ariano Kent

Men looking for partners (confirmed)
Etienne Lacasse
(I'm leaving Mimar and Ethier off since Ben hasn't posted about the split and Loucas did not mention searching for a partner)
(David Shteyngart is no longer on Ice Partner Search and did remove the part about searching for a partner from his Instagram bio, so not searching)

at this point, we will need the same for dance. (not a request just a comment LOL).

my mind is going crazy making new teams in my head already... but it's hard. I don't see who Marjo could skate with really... Maybe Quentin... but he is no Zach. I can see Zach skate with a lot of people but Marjorie was really the sparkle of the team... Maybe Hannah ?

Oddly enough my mind when straight to Hannah. But who knows if she gets released to Canada, we all know what’s happening with Minsol.

I debated doing one, but didn't want to get into potential country switches

This news about LaLa is so terrebly sad. Sniff. Can't help it.

 

[Sackie]

Been wondering about LaLa and how much longer they will stick around. You really could tell how frustrated they were at this years worlds. I mean last year was bad enough when they were 7th but this year to drop to 9th with several teams not completing. If they dont start seeing better results next year do you think they may move on, even if they are the top Can dance team.

I hate to hear the news but I did have my inklings a while ago. Really bad news for Canada but they were being dropped further and further back.

 

[Skater Boy]

I thought this might be the resurgence of Canada and that they would be on the podium hopefully in the team event in 2030 but that is highly unlikely. Gogo is the upswing. I am not convinced Trennt and Lia are the hope of 2030. I fear they could drop to struggle to hold on to top ten. And with the demise of Deanna and Max and then the perfunctory third place team. Things don't look super in pairs. In dance Piper and Paul better skate on or Canada maybe left with no team in the top 15 in dance. LaLa have a lot of talent but injuries limited thier programs, they also did not have the best material but the door looked like it was opening for them. If Piper and Paul retire as expected they have a clear shot at the national title. I think the judges especially 2027 were ready to move them up maybe even on the podium. I can't see either one of them forming a strong enough team for 2030. IT takes time usually and unlke the French Canada is not strong enough. Canada
s ladies well Madi shoudl enjoy her time on SOI. Her days are numered. She reminds me of Jennfer Robinson the est of the worst. but jennifer was still top ten. Minsol or Gabby (ironically the past may be the hope of the future. Madi has had so much time and op portunity and she couldn't do it.

The Fiona/Loucas rumours were true.

The Fiona/Loucas rumours were true.

I want Kelly Ann and Etienne next.
