We are thrilled to have special guest and 5X Olympic Medalist on the show, Scott Moir!!
At PyeongChang 2018, Scott Moir and partner Tessa Virtue became the most decorated figure skaters in Olympic history. Winning gold medals in both the ice dance and team events, they are the first figure skaters to own five career Olympic medals.
Virtue and Moir produced one of their best seasons ever in 2016-17, going undefeated en route to their third career world title. Included in that was their first ever win at the ISU Grand Prix Final as they enjoyed a successful comeback after a two-year hiatus from competition. They had taken a break to perform solely in tours and exhibitions after winning two silver medals at Sochi 2014 in the ice dance event and as part of the inaugural Olympic team event.
The Moir family has always been heavily involved in figure skating… Mother Alma and her twin sister Carol are both coaches at the Ilderton Skating Club.

At first wanted to skate faster for hockey to fulfil his dream of being Joe Sakic and winning the Stanley Cup but he realized he didn’t have the hands for hockey… First teamed with Virtue by his aunt Carol when she was seven and he was nine… At the beginning, the two were so shy that they didn’t talk to each other while skating.
Today we talk to Scott about his journey as an Olympic athlete, protecting and managing the personal brand that himself and Tessa had grown, surrounding yourself with the right people and constantly innovating.
Scott brings all that he learned through to his new professional journey as the Head Coach and Managing Director of the new Ice Academy of Montreal campus in Southwestern Ontario, located in London, Ontario.
