My first impression is that there are a lot of teams getting their first international experience here, especially Canadian teams. It's nice to see Canada sending out some less experienced teams, both Junior and Senior.
In Senior, it's the first international competitions for Amanda Urban & Peter Beaumont (CAN), Lucy Hancock & Aiden Dotzert (CAN) (both new teams last season), and Sabrina Ghaly & Tyler Vollmer (PHI) (brand new this season) It's also Alisa Korneva & Kieran MacDonald (CAN)'s first Senior International and their first International comp since Jr. Worlds 2024
In Junior, it's the first international for the Canadian teams of Anna Theroux & Rafael Gossard, Chaima Ben Khelifa & Julien Levesque, Jessy Gagnon & Anthony MacDonald, and Kayla Bowman & Logan Bowman. I thought it would be the first international comp for Florence Beausoleil & Remi Thibault, but they got sent out to a Novice A comp last season.
For the USA, it's the international debut of Aneta Vaclavikova & William Lissauer, and Molli Taylorson & Steven Moore.
It's also the debut of Anna Waugh & Matthew Jacoby for Ireland and the new team of Liliia Litenko & Aleksandr Ryzhenkov for ISR.
