Brooke McIntosh (born January 5, 2005) is a Canadian
McIntosh/Mimar are also the 2022 World Junior bronze medallists and 2022 Canadian national junior champions.
With her former skating partner, Brandon Toste, she represented Canada at the 2019 World Junior Championships, finishing in the top ten, and the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics, finishing fourth.
Personal life
McIntosh was born on January 5, 2005, in Toronto, Ontario. She is the daughter of Greg McIntosh and Jill Horstead, a former competitive swimmer who competed for Canada at the 1984 Summer Olympics. McIntosh's younger sister, Summer, is also a competitive swimmer and was part of the Canadian team for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[1]
Career
2017–18 season
In January 2018, McIntosh/Toste won gold in the novice division at the Canadian Championships, setting a new Canadian record (120.24).[2]
2018–19 season
In the 2018–2019 season, McIntosh/Toste debuted in the ISU Junior Grand Prix series. They opened the season in August at the JGP Slovakia, where they finished fifth. In September, they competed at the JGP Czech Republic, finishing tenth.
In January 2019, they won silver in the junior division at the Canadian Championships. Both also competed in the singles events (in the novice division) – McIntosh finished eighth and Toste ninth.
In March 2019, they represented Canada at the World Junior Championships, finishing tenth.

These results qualified a place for a Canadian junior pair team at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, and they were subsequently selected to take that spot; as a result of which, they did not attend the 2020 Canadian Junior Championships, which overlapped with the Youth Olympics. They placed fourth at the Youth Olympics in the pairs event and also placed fourth in the team competition.[3]
Following the Youth Olympics, coach Andrew Evans announced that Toste would be retiring to focus on attending university while McIntosh would search for a new partner.[4] A month later, Evans announced that McIntosh had formed a new partnership with Benjamin Mimar.[5]
2020–21 season
The COVID-19 pandemic shut down training centres in Ontario for several months, after which McIntosh and Mimar were added to a list of competitive skaters cleared to keep training through subsequent lockdowns.[6]
There being no international season to speak of for Canadian skaters, McIntosh/Mimar competed as seniors on the domestic level, debuting at the Ontario Sectionals to win the gold medal. At the 2021 Skate Canada Challenge, held virtually across several hub locations to minimize gatherings, they placed fourth, qualifying to the national championships.[7]

Shortly after the end of the Grand Prix, McIntosh/Mimar were the silver medallists at the 2022–23 Skate Canada Challenge after a rough free skate dropped them behind the new team Pereira/Michaud.[22] They went on to win the silver medal at the 2023 Canadian Championships. Mimar said that it was the first time he had felt "really confident on the ice" with their free skate.[23] Despite their silver medal, they were not one of the three teams selected to compete at the 2023 Four Continents Championships, though they were named to make their World Championship debut.[24] McIntosh/Mimar finished eleventh in Saitama.[25]
