Hubbell, Donohue to train with Dubreuil, Lauzon
Two-time U.S. bronze medalists leaving Detroit area for Montreal
U.S. ice dancers Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue announced Monday that they have started training with Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon at the Gadbois Centre in Montreal.
"We are so excited to start this new chapter in our career," Hubbell said. "We have admired Marie-France and Patrice's skating for a long time, and we're looking forward to the opportunity to learn from them."
Hubbell and Donohue have won a pair of bronze medals at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships (2012, '15) and are the 2014 Four Continents champions. Since 2011, they have trained in the Detroit area with Pasquale Camerlengo, Anjelika Krylova and Natalia Annenko-Deller.
Dubreuil and Lauzon are five-time Canadian champions and two-time world silver medalists (2006-07) for Canada. They most recently coached France's Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron to the 2015 world title, and also helped Sara Hurtado and Adrià Díaz earn Spain's first Olympic berth in ice dance.
"We would like to thank all of our coaches and friends at the Detroit Skating Club for their support over the last four seasons," Donohue said. "We wouldn't be where we are without their hard work, and we're so excited to see where that foundation can lead with our new team."
