Mikaël Kingsbury

Mikaël Kingsbury has been called the “Wayne Gretzky of mogul skiing” for his extraordinary ability to shatter records and set a new standard in the sport.

A devoted hockey fan, Kingsbury also loves skiing. He started skiing moguls at just eight years old, inspired by Finnish skier Janne Lahtela’s gold-medal performance at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. By the time he was 17, Kingsbury served as a forerunner at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, and he has since embarked on a historic career, setting the all-time record for FIS World Cup wins among men, claiming seven consecutive FIS Crystal Globes, and earning an impressive 10 World Championship medals. Kingsbury proudly carries on Quebec’s tradition of producing world-class mogul skiers, following in the footsteps of his hero, Jean-Luc Brassard, and former teammate, Alex Bilodeau.

In 2014, Kingsbury stood proudly alongside Bilodeau, earning silver as they celebrated a Canadian 1-2 finish in Sochi. Four years later, he capped off a stellar season by winning Olympic gold in PyeongChang, a true crowning moment.

Despite his worldwide success, Kingsbury’s love for hockey remains close to his heart. Whenever he’s in Montreal, he’s often found cheering for his Canadiens at the Bell Centre or sharing the ice with his teammates in their favourite off-season pastime.
