Moncion-Groulx had an emotional weekend racing in front of his family, and continued the fine form he showed at Canadian Western Championships earlier this season. He took gold in the sprint and bronze in the 20 km skate, behind Russell Kennedy and Andy Shields.
“This was another strong weekend for Dom. It was a special day for him. His family was there, and a lot of his friends. He went back and forth all spring, trying to decide if he’d quit or keep skiing. He came back and has seen the gains from the jump in training.

He now has a shot at a start on the World Cup,” Jeffries said. “Now it’s clicked. He has different gears. He can race aggressively… he’s a well liked person in the ski world. When he has a good race, everyone is happy. I haven’t seen that before,” Jeffries said.
“Antoine, I was ready to kill him after the sprint. He did my least favourite move, where he stood up and coasted too far away from the finish and got caught. He’ll never do that again,” Jeffries said. “After that, he had the best race of his season, when he finished ninth in the 15 km classic.”
