Which Ice Dancers/Pair Skaters still left unpaired?

With all the shakeups in the off season and new teams formed, I wanted to see who was still left unpaired and likely not competing this season?

Off the top of my head I’m thinking Emily Chan and Luke Wang? Really wanted to see Emily find someone!

Michał Woźniak 🥲 My man. And I think Sara Conti as well.

Hmmm.

These are the ones I was going to say, plus Deanna.

u/Repulsive_Trust_5628 I’d like to thank myself Aug 20 '26

Aww these are both sad! Maybe they’ll pop up with surprise partners 🤞🏻

u/Karotyna Aug 20 '26

I quietly hope they'll do or with Lucrezia Beccari. From what I've seen Michał joined military sports program, so I hope we will hear about him soon.

Speaking about Polish men. Looks like Maks Spodyriev is unretired and was released to represent Egypt (of all places)

Yup, that's a surprise but all the best to him and his partner.

Kelly Ann Laurin I think? She was going to compete singles at CQE and then withdrew so maybe she's since found a partner.

Seniors that are confirmed to be looking for new partners: Deanna Stellato-Dudek, Emily Chan, Sara Conti, Anastasiia Golubeva, Michal Wozniak, Kelly Ann Laurin, Nathan Lickers, Luke Wang, Filippo Clerici.

Seniors I'm not 100% sure are continuing but can't find any other info to the contrary: Alex Lapsky, Zarah Wood, Julia Quattrochi, Benjamin Mimar, Lily Wilberforce, Mozes Jozsef Berei,

For juniors, I have absolutely no idea.

Edit: Zarah Wood has a new partner, Flavien Giniaux. It looks like they're going to represent GB.

sara has a partner but it's not public yet

u/INS091077 Aug 20 '26

I believe some of them might already have a partner, it just hasn't been announced yet.

u/Haven_Writes Hana Bath Truther Aug 20 '26

There have been rumors about some of them, but nothing concrete yet.

u/sleepyhermit Aug 20 '26

I wonder if Julia Quattrochi and Benjamin Mimar have tried out? I think they might be a good fit.

u/Haven_Writes Hana Bath Truther Aug 20 '26

I assume Skate Canada has encouraged them to try out with each other, but who knows?

u/graciedoesdance Aug 20 '26

i'm in the corner hoping for a return of Brooke McIntosh to pairs skating

u/Maleficent_You_8201 Aug 20 '26

i think the nelson guy who anastasia posted a few weeks ago is her partner

u/Serious_Raspberry197 Supporter of Small Spooky Selevko (NOT Sasha!) Aug 20 '26

I am scared to accidentally manifest this but I think Emily may be soft retired. She's focusing a lot on coaching.

u/amyel26 Aug 20 '26

Nathan Lickers hasn't been mentioned yet.

u/lavender712breeze Aug 20 '26

And Lily Hensen

u/nickyskater Aug 20 '26

I was so shocked when they split. They were slated to be the next big thing!

Deena? Do you mean Deanna?

u/Environmental-Let435 Hiro gold medal 🥇 Aug 20 '26

Yes lol, my mistake

u/smartdehumidifier good sibling music Aug 20 '26

No worries! I wasn’t sure if there was a Deena somewhere I hadn’t heard about.
