Career

National team

Hupé won a gold medal individually in the world championship in 2018 and added a team gold in the mens' division in 2023 in Kuwait City. He won two silver medals at the 2023 Pan American Games, both in the individual and doubles event with François Lavoie. After his first Pan American Games experience and silver medal Hupé said that "It’s bittersweet for sure. To lead the event up until the end and then to have it come down to basically one game — it’s unfortunate but it’s the way it was… He didn’t give me much room to breathe. So a couple of errors on my part and that’s all she wrote. Despite that, I’m still proud of my performance. I’m happy to bring back two silver medals for Canada. It’s a first Pan Am Games experience and I’d say it’s a successful one, despite the ending."[3]
