The Canadian Ice Maples had a weekend to remember at second stop of the ISU Short Track World Tour in Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n

After the Ice Maples captured five medals last weekend at the opening stop in Vancouver, the short track team returned with an even bigger statement; winning seven individual medals and two team medals over the two days at the Maurice Richard Arena.<\/p>\n

After F\u00e9lix Roussel <\/a>and Maxime Laoun<\/a> kicked off Saturday with a gold and silver double podium in the men\u2019s 500m, the Ice Maples capped the final day with a relay gold in the men\u2019s 5000m on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Roussel was the brightest among many stars for Canada. He earned three medals; two of them gold, and added a 1500m silver for good measure after missing out on the 1500m podium by two spots in Vancouver.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s 1000m, Mathieu Pelletier captured the first individual distance medal of his World Tour career with a silver.<\/p>\n

On the women\u2019s side, reigning ISU Crystal Globe Winner Courtney Sarault <\/a>also took home three medals. She raced to silver in the 1000m on Saturday, and won her second individual medal with a bronze in the 500m on Sunday.<\/p>\n

She was also apart of the mixed relay team which raced to an exciting silver. Dana\u00e9 Blais<\/a>, Maxime Laoun, Courtney Sarault, and Felix Roussel teamed up to finish with a time of 2 minutes and 37.37 seconds, finishing just a few seconds behind the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

It was the second time Blais and Sarault shared the podium; the pair were #2 and #3 respectively in the women\u2019s 500m.<\/p>\n

Finally on Sunday, the Ice Maples saved one of their best performances for last as Steven Dubois<\/a>, Mathieu Pelletier, F\u00e9lix Roussel, and Maxime Laoun raced to a 6:59.33 to win the men\u2019s 5000m really gold. They came in two seconds ahead of the Chinese relay team.<\/p>\n

All in all, six Team Canada athletes combined to win nine medals across two days; two golds, six silvers, and one bronze. Five of the six reached the podium on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"November 1, 2026 The Canadian Ice Maples had a weekend to remember at second stop of the ISU…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":955199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[49,48,100777,193013,140273,326457,326458,193662,2338,99924,188150,100779],"class_list":["post-955198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-montreal","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-courtney-sarault","tag-danae-blais","tag-felix-roussel","tag-isu-world-cup","tag-mathieu-pelletier","tag-maxime-laoun","tag-montreal","tag-short-track","tag-speed-skating","tag-steven-dubois"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=955198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/955199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=955198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=955198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=955198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
