In her first-ever ISU long track speed skating World Cup team event, Prince George native Carolina Hiller lived up to her end of the bargain and helped Canada pave a path to the medal podium Saturday in Heerenveen, Netherlands.
“Winning silver with Carolina and Ivanie today was very special,” McDougall told Speed Skating Canada. "It was a really good race," Dubreuil said. "I am happy with my first victory of the year and the way that I skated today. The time to beat before I raced was quite difficult to chase, but I was able to stay focused on my goal of skating to win.
Japan's Wataru Morishige was second, while Merijn Scheperkamp of the Netherlands took bronze. Christopher Fiola of Montreal finished eighth and Cedrik Brunet of Gatineau, Que., was 19th.In the women's team sprint, Hiller, McDougall and Blondin got off to a slow start, but quickly closed the gap in the three-lap race.
