Maxime Deschamps and his partner star in Laval at the end of January

The best figure skaters from across the country will travel to Laval, Quebec, for the 2025 Canadian National Skating Championships, to be held at Place Bell, January 14-19, 2025. Among them will be reigning national and world pair champions Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps from Vaudreuil-Dorion. 

The duo will be returning to competition after winning both their ISU Grand Prix assignments, marking Deanna's very first event as a Canadian citizen.  

Over the course of the week, more than 330 junior and senior skaters will compete for national titles in the disciplines of men's and women's singles, pairs, ice dance and synchronized skating.

The competition promises to be fierce, as the 2024 champions will be looking to defend their titles, while other serious contenders will be striving for a place on the podium.  

Junior athletes will kick off the competition on Wednesday, January 15, while senior competitions will be held from Thursday to Sunday. In addition, Olympic medalist Joannie Rochette and coach Manon Perron will be officially inducted into the Skate Canada Hall of Fame at a special ceremony on Sunday, January 19.

Single-session tickets for all competition days are currently on sale on the Ticketpro website.
