[edit] Biography

With partner Chantal Poirier, Buntin is the 2000 Canadian junior national champion. He teamed up with Valerie Marcoux in 2002 and together they are the 2004-2006 Canadian national champion. Shortly after the 2006/2007 season ended, Valerie Marcoux announced her retirement from competitive figure skating, thus ending the partnership.

Duhamel and Buntin teamed up in the summer of 2007.[1] At their first competition together, the 2007 Nebelhorn Trophy, they won the silver medal.
