Benjamin Mimar

Mimar began learning how to skate in 2003.[1] Before teaming up with his current partner, Brooke McIntosh, he competed in pairs with Chloe Panetta, coached by Richard Gauthier, Eric Radford, Ian Connoly, Sylvie Fullum, and Marlene Picard in Montreal.[2] The team competed twice on the Junior Grand Prix circuit, once in 2018 at the 2018 JGP Canada where they finished ninth, and once in 2019 at the 2019 JGP Croatia, where they finished eighth. At the Canadian Junior Figure Skating Championships, they finished fourth in 2019 and fifth in 2020.[3] Panetta/Mimar ended their partnership sometime between late January 2020 and 18 February 2020, when Mimar began skating with McIntosh.[4]

McIntosh/Mimar competed twice domestically during the 2020–21 season.

McIntosh/Mimar broke the Canadian junior pairs record to win their first junior national title as a team at the 2022 Canadian Championships in January.[5] Shortly thereafter they competed at their first junior international assignment, the 2022 Bavarian Open in Oberstdorf, Germany, where they won the title and earned their ISU technical minimums to compete at the 2022 World Junior Championships in April.[6]

At Junior Worlds, held in Tallinn, Estonia, McIntosh/Mimar placed fourth in the short program but climbed to third in the free skate to finish in third overall. They took the bronze medal behind Georgian team Karina Safina / Luka Berulava and Australian team Anastasia Golubeva / Hektor Giotopoulos Moore.[7] McIntosh later said of their mindset going into the free program, "We focused on what we had to do for the free skate. We knew we were prepared, and we just had to go and show that. Even through the uncertainty of this season we kept training and kept motivated."[8]
