"My goal is to enjoy every experience I have, meet new skaters from around the world, stay healthy, continue improving, and make new friends."

What are your thoughts on her new SP? Where do you see her stacking up with the other junior women? What stands out to you most when you watch her skate?

She's fearless and consistent. She also seems to love competing. She doesn't seem to be suffering from nerves. I saw her live in 2025 when she won junior nationals ( I think it was her first of two titles). Very impressive.
I am happy to read that she got feedback on spins. That's the one area where I'd like to see some improvement.

It's been a long time Canada didn't have such a promising superstar in any field.

Go Lia ! Go !

She comes across as really grounded and well-supported outside the rink. I hope she's able to keep her joy in skating and not get overwhelmed by the pressure of being Canada's New Bright Hope.

I really enjoyed her SP at NextGen. What stands out to me is with how young she is she really does not show nerves and she keeps her performance throughout. Good luck to her next week at Cranberry and at her jgp.

It's an exciting year for her and for Team Canada, for sure. I hope she will be happy about her first season in juniors.
