Home Of Tessa And Scott

 

 
Tessa and Scott started their skating career here at the Ilderton Skating Club. Their coach, Carol Moir, paired them up to compete in the Western Ontario Development program and never looked back!

WHERE IT ALL STARTED

The beginnings of tessa and scott

They caught the World’s attention in 2006 when they became the first Canadian Ice Dancers to win the Junior World Championships. Since then, this pair consistently placed among the top of the pack at International competitions, including a gold medal at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver,gold at 2010, 2012 and 2017 World Figure Skating Championships, two silver medals at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, and two gold medals at the 2018 Olympic Game in PyeongChang. Making them the most decorated Canadian Ice dance team of all time and the most decorated Olympic figure skaters of all time.

SCOTT AND TESSA'S START

Virtue and Moir are also eight time Canadian National Champions, winning in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017 and 2018. At the 2009 Skate Canada, the pair received the first 10.0 awarded in dance in international competition. The pair have skated together since 1997, and are known for their intricate footwork and innovative lifts.

Tessa and Scott still continue to visit our club and give back to skating. Scott now runs the International Academy of Montreal (IAM) Ontario campus out of our Komoka Wellness Centre and Western University. Many of our 'home grown' skaters now train with him!
