Christina Chin

Christina Chin is a Canadian professional pickleball player who traded ice skates and hockey sticks for a paddle - and she's been on a tear ever since. A 7-time Canadian Pickleball National Champion, Christina was the No. 1 overall draft pick in the Canadian National Pickleball League in 2025, cementing her status as Canada's top female player. She discovered pickleball when her father introduced her to the sport during COVID lockdowns in 2020, and within two years she went from a 3.0 rating to competing in the professional division.

Before pickleball, Christina's athletic resume was already stacked. She started ice skating at age two, played hockey from age four, competed at the collegiate level for York University in Toronto, and even tried out for the China Olympic hockey team ahead of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Off the court, she's a certified CPA who worked at a Big Four accounting firm before taking a sabbatical in 2024 to go all-in on pickleball. She now coaches at High Sports, a facility expanding across Canada, Vietnam, and China. Her Instagram handle @pickleballonice is a perfect nod to her dual sporting identity.
