Aaron Lowe (MHK ’07) and Megan Wing are shown performing (below). Canadian ice dancers Aaron Lowe (MHK ’07) and Megan Wing recently announced their retirement from competitive figure skating. The Vancouver duo spent 12 years on the national team, representing Canada at five world meets. “It’s been a great journey, and we’ve attained all our career goals,” Wing told the Canadian Press. Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe placed 11th at the 2006 Winter Olympics held in Turin, Italy. The pair’s best career finishes at the world championships were 10th-place showings at the 2005 Moscow event and 2006 Calgary competition. “We finished this last season on a high, making the Olympic team and competing at the world championships at home in Canada,” said Lowe. In December of ’06 Aaron successfully defended his thesis entitled: “Exploring Athlete Advocacy through Canadian Sport Policies, International Multi-Sport Events, and Athlete Experiences.” Wing and Lowe aren’t leaving the sport world entirely. They plan to coach and choreograph programs for young skaters, and hope to have some involvement with the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. HK
