Irina Galiyanova and Grayson Lochhead 

Following the 2018 Skate Canada Nationals in Vancouver, Grayson's partner for four years Olivia Han chose to retire from competitive ice dance. At the same time Irina's partner Tommy Tang made the same decision. Both skaters had a number of tryouts with other ice dancers but the best option proved to be to team up together, a good choice as the results of this first season show:
