Career

Early in his pairs career, Wolfe competed with Tara Hancherow. They won junior silver medals at the 2010 and 2011 Canadian Championships.

On April 17, 2011, Jessica Dubé and Sébastien Wolfe announced they had formed a partnership.[1][2] The pair made their competitive debut at the Liberty Summer competition in July, winning the free skate.[3] They are coached by Annie Barabe and also work with John Zimmerman on pair elements.[4] Dubé and Wolfe made their international debut together at the 2011 Nebelhorn Trophy, where they finished 6th.[5] They competed at two Grand Prix events, 2011 Skate Canada International, where they finished 5th, and 2011 Trophee Eric Bompard, where they were 6th. Dubé and Wolfe won the silver medal at the 2012 Canadian Championships and were assigned to Four Continents and Worlds. At the 2012 Four Continents, they finished 8th.

In the 2012–2013 season, Dube and Wolfe were assigned two Grand Prix events, the 2012 Skate America and 2012 Rostelecom Cup, but withdrew from both. Dubé had an injury to her right foot which affected their training.[6] After several months of consideration, Dubé and Wolfe announced on January 9, 2013 that they had both decided to retire from competition.[6] Wolfe has completed his initial National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) and also expressed interested in firefighting.[6]
