Going into the 2021-22 season, both Hubbell and Donohue announced it would be the last of their competitive careers. While they had plenty they were still looking to achieve, winning two medals at the Olympic Games and silver at the World Championships, behind the scenes, what came next for Hubbell was beginning to take shape.
"I guess Scott [Moir] kind of voiced on multiple occasions to the coaching team in Montreal that, upon my retirement, he would be interested in having me join his team [in London, Ontario] – that he needed help with the teams that he currently had and to continue growing the school," said Hubbell, who had worked with Moir on choreography as an athlete. "And I had kind of heard from him in that last season things to that effect, but when you're hanging out with Scott Moir, who is an idol and then he mentions that he would like to coach with you, it's kind of like, 'Yeah, yeah. Maybe you're being really nice. I trust you, but are you just complimenting me?'"
But Moir was serious. So, during the final months of her career in March and April of 2022, logistics for moving began to take place. After finishing Stars on Ice, Hubbell began full time as a coach at I.AM with Moir and Díaz in July 2022.
Moir immediately trusted Hubbell to coach Carreira and Ponomarenko as one of her teams, taking charge of their season plan and return to play after Ponomarenko's ankle injury at the end of the previous season.
