From March 25-30, Canada’s top skaters will hit the ice in Boston, USA, for the 2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships (Worlds), capping off another successful season of international medals, national titles, and record-breaking performances. Here’s a look at their highlights of the season leading up to Worlds.  

World Champions Ready to Defend  
After being crowned world champions on home soil at the 2024 World Championships in Montreal, Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps are ready to defend their title following Stellato-Dudek’s Oath of Citizenship. The pair struck gold at the Finlandia Trophy and Skate Canada International, and despite missing the Grand Prix Final due to illness, they bounced back to reclaim their national title and capture silver at the 2025 ISU Four Continents Championships.   

Redemption on Home Ice  
Madeline Schizas and Roman Sadovsky both made impressive comebacks to reclaim their titles at the 2025 Canadian National Skating Championships. Schizas wowed the audience with a new free program that broke the Canadian women’s record and landed her on top of the podium. Earlier in the season, her Lion King-themed short program thrilled the crowd at Skate Canada International, earning her a top-five finish.   

After having to withdraw from Skate Canada International due to an injury, Sadovsky successfully returned to international competition, claiming bronze at the Tallinn Trophy. He went on to earn Canada’s sole men’s spot at Worlds by finishing tenth at the Four Continents, the country’s best men’s result.  

ISU Championships Debut 
Ice dance duo Alicia Fabbri and Paul Ayer’s hard work at Canadian nationals paid off, earning them their second consecutive national bronze medal and securing a spot to compete at the ISU championships. In February they made their Four Continents debut, where they finished ninth. This season they also brought home bronze from the Denis Ten Memorial, adding more international competition experience to their record. 

Crushing Personal Bests  
Pairs team Kelly Ann Laurin and Loucas Éthier delivered a standout performance in front of a roaring hometown crowd in Laval, setting a personal best of 187.29 and capturing their second national bronze medal.  On the international stage, Laurin and Éthier finished fourth at the Finlandia Trophy and ninth at Four Continents. 

Meanwhile, Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud also shattered their personal best at nationals with a score of 204.96, claiming first in the free program and securing the silver medal. They continued their success at the Four Continents, earning their first international championship medal—a bronze! Adding to their impressive season, they also took home bronze at the Cup of China, proving they’re podium regulars. 

Canadian Ice Dancers Dazzled on International Stage  
Canada dominated the ice dance podium at Four Continents, with Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha dancing their way to bronze and Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier defending their title, claiming gold. Lajoie and Lagha have had a fantastic season, securing two silver medals on the Grand Prix circuit and a fourth-place finish at the Grand Prix Final, Canada’s top result at the competition.  

This season, Gilles and Poirier proved again to be ice dance veterans, securing gold at Skate Canada International and silver at the Finlandia Trophy before claiming their fourth national title in Laval. They will attend Worlds for the twelfth time as a team, after earning their best result in 2024 clinching the silver medal.
