Lia Pereira & Trennt Michaud
Canadian Silver Medalists
Biography
Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud teamed up in August, 2022 and have enjoyed an incredible rise to success.
They quickly found their stride and won their first domestic competitions just eight short weeks into their partnership. They finished an impressive third at their first National Championships together and earned themselves their first trip to the World Championships in Saitama, Japan where they finished sixth in the world.
In Lia and Trennt’s first Grand Prix season together, they placed second at Skate America and won Trophy de France. These results earned them their first ticket to the Grand Prix Final. They finished eighth at the 2024 World Championships in Montreal and have steadily been refining their programs and elements throughout this season.
The 2024-2025 competitive season was a story of ups and downs for Lia and Trennt. They finished a disappointing fifth at their first Grand Prix event, but managed to turn their training around quickly to claim the bronze medal at their second Grand Prix event. They claimed the silver medal at the 2025 Canadian National Championships.
When they’re not on the ice training, competing or performing, Lia and Trennt are busy with their education. Lia attends Guelph University and Trennt attends McMaster University, both part-time. Trennt is also an avid disc golfer and fits as many tournaments into each year as his skating schedule will allow. They are often and affectionately referred to as the “labradoodles” of their training facilities because of their shared enthusiasm and positive energy. Their coaching team attributes much of their success to their common attitude and hard but playful work ethic. They are always up for a challenge and they easily find the fun in their daily training.
Lia and Trennt love to perform and create new programs. They also share a love for travel. For so many reasons, being part of the Stars on Ice tour this year is a dream come true!
