Wakamatsu and Fecteau Retire

[Tennisany1]

There are going to be some interesting changes on the pairs scene this year! Best of luck to both.

Well, this is hardly surprising -- they'd been saying for most of the season that this was going to be their last, and that Utako would be going back to Japan.

I'll miss them, though -- even when they had some technical problems, their skates were always well worth watching.

And I'll particularly miss Jean-Sebastian. Seems like he's been on the Canadian competitive scene forever. (Of course maybe he's looking for a new partner ... seems unlikely given his age, though.)
