Canadian ice dance stars Gilles and Poirier in a groove heading into new season
HALIFAX — Piper Gilles says she and Paul Poirier will skate until they run out of gas.
Right now, the tank is full for Canada’s top ice dancers.
“We’re going to keep skating until we feel like we have nothing left to give,” Gilles said. “I feel like we still have so much drive and motivation and unfinished business.”
Gilles and Poirier open their figure skating season this weekend at their ninth Skate Canada International. They’re also targeting a fifth consecutive title at Halifax’s Scotiabank Centre.
