Evelyn Walsh

Evelyn Walsh was born on July 8, 2001, in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, and grew up in Seaforth, Ontario. She began skating in 2003 and transitioned to competitive figure skating at age 11. Initially a single skater, she later moved into pair skating at 15. In 2016, Walsh teamed up with Trennt Michaud, forming a partnership that would achieve national and international recognition. Together, they earned the 2017 Canadian national junior title and went on to compete in two World Junior Championships, achieving a fifth-place finish in 2017. Their senior career saw them secure three Canadian national silver medals across 2019, 2020, and 2022.

Walsh and Michaud’s international senior career included participation in the ISU Grand Prix series and Four Continents Championships. They earned a bronze medal at the 2022 Four Continents Championships in Tallinn. They also competed in three World Championships, with their best result being sixth place in 2022. Beyond direct competition, Walsh contributed to the Netflix series ‘Spinning Out’ as a skating double. In August 2022, Walsh announced her retirement from competitive skating to focus on her university studies. She subsequently attended the University of Western Ontario, where she also participated in varsity figure skating. In March, she secured her third consecutive Ontario University Athletics Championship title with the Mustangs.

After completing a sales internship, Walsh developed a new career interest. She is scheduled to graduate with a psychology degree and will begin a position at PepsiCo in Toronto in June. This marks a transition from her extensive career in figure skating into a new professional chapter. Her career was distinguished by consistent performance at national and international levels, culminating in a significant achievement at the Four Continents Championships.
