The Skate America competition in the fall of 2011 is comparatively just a shadow of what Hubbell and Donohue would become in their decade-long partnership. This particular performance, however, is worth watching for one big reason: it's their first major competition together. Prior to the 2011-2012 season, Hubbell skated with her brother, Keiffer, while Donohue had brief partnerships with Piper Gilles — who went on to become an Olympian for Canada with partner Paul Poirier — and Alissandra Aronow.
