Biography

Madeline Schizas is a four-time Canadian National Champion and has been Canada’s top female skater since joining the senior circuit in 2020.

Maddie began skating at just three years old. A life-changing moment came when her parents took her to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, where Joannie Rochette’s iconic performance inspired her own Olympic dream.

A proud Olympian, Maddie represented Canada at the Beijing 2022 Winter Games as the nation’s sole female skater, helping lift Team Canada to a fourth-place finish in the Team Event. After winning her fourth national title in 2026, she has continued to lead the next generation of Canadian skating talent and remains one of the country’s strongest international contenders.

Outside of competition, Maddie studies at McMaster University, is an accomplished pianist who performs and teaches, and continues to give back to the sport as a mentor and figure skating coach.
