Career[]

Early years[]

Matte began learning to skate in 2004.[1] She teamed up with Thierry Ferland around 2010.[3] The pair won the novice bronze medal at the 2015 Canadian Championships and the novice silver medal at the 2015 Canada Winter Games.[4][5] The following season, they moved up to the junior level and placed 6th at the 2016 Canadian Championships.

2016–2017 season[]

Matte/Ferland made their ISU Junior Grand Prix debut in September 2016. After winning the junior silver medal at the 2017 Canadian Championships, they were assigned to the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei. The pair ranked 7th in the short program, 12th in the free skate, and 9th overall at the competition in Taiwan. They were coached by Martine Simard in Lévis, Quebec, until the end of the season.[6] In May 2017, they relocated to Montréal.[2]

2017–2018 season[]

The pair lost several weeks of training after Matte broke her elbow, in autumn 2017.[7] In January, Matte/Ferland won the junior pairs' title at the 2018 Canadian Championships.[8] They placed 10th in the short program, 7th in the free skate, and 9th overall at the 2018 World Junior Championships, which took place in March in Sofia, Bulgaria.[7] Richard Gauthier and Bruno Marcotte coached the pair in Montréal.[9]

2018–2019 season[]

Making their senior international debut, Matte/Ferland placed fifth at the 2018 CS Autumn Classic International in September. They were fourth at the 2020 Canadian Championships.

2019–2020 season[]

Competing at two Challenger events to begin the season, Matte/Ferland were eight at the 2019 CS U.S. Classic and seventh at the 2019 CS Warsaw Cup. They placed fifth at the 2020 Canadian Championships.[10]

2020–2021 season[]

Matte/Ferland were assigned to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Skate Canada International, but the event was cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.[11] They made their competitive debut at the 2021 Skate Canada Challenge, the qualifying event for the national championships, winning the silver medal.[12]

Matte/Ferland were named as alternates to the 2021 World Championships.[13] With Canada's mandatory two-week quarantine for returning athletes, however, no member of the World team was assigned to the 2021 World Team Trophy, and they assigned as Canada's entry in the pairs segment.[14] They finished sixth in both the short and free programs, while Team Canada finished in sixth place overall.[15][16][17]
