Leading the charge on the women\u2019s side is Olympian Florence Brunelle<\/a> (Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, Que.), who will return to competition for the first time since last season\u2019s World Championships in Montreal after having dealt with injuries throughout the summer. With five medals already to her name, she enters her third career World Junior Championships as one of the country\u2019s most decorated junior skaters, with only Marie-\u00c8ve Drolet having earned more hardware (10 medals).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Brunelle will be joined by last year\u2019s double medalist, Ann-Sophie Bachand<\/a> (Sherbrooke, Que.), who won silver in the 500m and gold in the 3000m relay, as well as fellow relay team medalist Ayisha Miao Qi<\/a> (Blainville, Que.).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The only returning athlete on the men\u2019s side is Samuel Bureau<\/a> (Montreal, Que.). He will most notably be joined by 16-year-old Mathieu Pelletier<\/a> (Laval, Que.), who made his World Cup debut with the senior team this fall, winning bronze in the 2000m mixed gender relay on home ice in Montreal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
