Week in Skating Photos: Back to School

We hope you had a great first week back to school.

For some, September means we are a little closer to skating season,

while others will miss the summer heat where they can lie down freely.

3 day training camp got us like…?? After the countless hours on the ice, off-ice trainings, team meals, team activities and of course, team initiation?, we had a wonderful weekend together as a team. Choreographing and working on our new programs for this season was so much fun. We can’t wait for the competition season to start! #youwantsomethinggogetit #period

If you do fall, we hope it is as graceful as Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier.

In the meantime, we can reminisce over our previous skating moments.
