Stars On Ice 2026

As the world looks ahead to the 2026 Winter Olympics, Canada’s top figure skaters are preparing to proudly represent their country’s rich history at the Winter Games. Once the Olympic flame goes out, fans will have an opportunity to grab a front-row seat to see and celebrate these great athletes in person. This spring, Stars on Ice returns with a dynamic new show that highlights Canada’s Olympic aspirations, world-class talent, and the beauty of figure skating. The show brings together the country’s most celebrated skaters - past, present, and future - in a one-of-a-kind live experience, scheduled to visit Ottawa on Sunday, April 26 for a 4:00pm performance at the Canadian Tire Centre.

Headlining this year’s cast are three of Canada’s most inspiring Olympic stories: Keegan Messing, Olympian and two-time Canadian Champion, will make his highly anticipated return to competition to strengthen Canada’s presence in Men’s singles; Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps, World Champions and two-time Canadian Pair Champions, aim to make history as Deanna eyes becoming the oldest female figure skating medalist; and Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier, two-time Olympians and four-time Canadian Dance Champions, look to cap off their careers with the Olympic gold that’s narrowly eluded them in the past.

They’ll be joined by skating legend Elvis Stojko, a two-time Olympic Silver Medalist and three-time World Champion, who brings his unparalleled energy and passion back to the Stars on Ice spotlight; Olympian and reigning three-time Canadian Champion Madeline Schizas; plus additional members of Canada’s national figure skating team.

The 2026 tour will once again be guided by the vision of Kurt Browning, four-time World Champion and longtime Stars on Ice fan favorite, who returns as Director and Choreographer. Browning’s signature creativity and storytelling will help bring the heart of Canadian figure skating to life on rinks across the country.
