The Canadian pairs skaters, 27 and 28, performed their short program just the day before (October 25) to a piece Eric actually wrote.
Eric studied at Toronto’s Royal Conservatory of Music and wrote “Tribute” a day after the teams coach, Paul Wirtz died of cancer in 2006.
“Last year we came to this event, skated a clean short, and got 64, so this shows everything that we’ve been working towards and improving,” Meagan shared. “We started with 64 last season and ended with a 73 at worlds, so this is exactly where we want to be. We want to hit those high 70s as we go into nationals and as we go into the Olympics. I think that it’s a good step.”
