's message is timely and important, not just for skating, but also for life. You never know what a person may be coping with and no matter your intention, your comments could be destructive. As a society, we MUST do better.
To the fan who thought it necessary to share their 'secret' with Kaitlin Hawayek, You are no longer welcome. There is no excuse for your behavior. The poise and grace that Kaitlin exhibits when sharing this story is incredible.
Piper Gilles also leaving options open to continue for another season with partner Paul Poirier: “When we feel like we don't want to come into the rink every single day, I think it is when you won't see us anymore. We love the training process, our teammates, our coaches".
We are honored to cover the 2nd Annual Chris Reed Trophy.
