HUBBELL AND DONOHUE TO TRAIN WITH DUBREUIL AND LAUZON Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue announced last month that they have
started training with Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon at the Gadbois Centre in Montreal, Quebec. “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.” Dubreuil and Lauzon are fi ve-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 Adria Diaz earn Spain’s fi rst Olympic berth in ice dance. “We would like to thank all of our coaches and
friends at the Detroit Skating Club for their sup- port 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.” Since 2011, Hubbell and Donohue have trained
in the Detroit area with coaches Pasquale Camerlen- go, Anjelika Krylova and Natalia Annenko-Deller. Hubbell, from Okemos, Michigan, and Donohue, from Madison, Connecticut, will live in Montreal. Hubbell and Donohue followed their 2014 Four Continents title with a pair of
bronze medals in the Grand Prix Series last season. They are two-time and reigning U.S. bronze medalists.
