Basketball: Provincial-champ Capital Courts players to chase national crown in Niagara

When Capital Courts Academy head coach Fabienne Blizzard first saw Achol Akot play basketball in elementary school at Dr. F.J. MacDonald, she immediately noticed her potential. “She surprised me with what she was able to see and do on the floor at that age,” Blizzard recalled. READ MORE…

At the CONCACAF U17 championship in April and May in the Dominican Republic, Rosa Maalouf scored 12 times in six games – the most of any player at the tournament and eight more goals than the next-closest Canadian.

Diving: Audrée Howes overcomes vision & COVID hurdles to reach Canada Games

Cycling: Xander Woodford loves the roots, rocks and ruckus of mountain bike cycling

The mountain bike Cross-Country Olympic (XCO) race is a one-hour, wild-ride adventure, opening with a mass start, taking riders over exposed roots and rocks, handling tricky corners, climbing steep hills, zooming down hills and bears. Bears? Yes, bears, Xander Woodford recounts. READ MORE…

Athletics: Personal-best javelin throw lifts Madison Mclean onto Team Ontario

It’s time to solve a challenging sports equation. What do you get when you add a football quarterback to a strong-hitting volleyball player and toss in some advice from a mother? Well, of course, the answer has to be a javelin thrower. Check the answer at the back of the book. READ MORE…

Swimming: World jr.-bound open-water swimmer Olivier Risk shines in pool & outdoors

Lacrosse: Tristan Thompson revved up for Canada Games debut of women’s lacrosse

The last time lacrosse was featured at the Canada Summer Games was 1985. New Coke had just been introduced, the first version of Windows came out and Michael Jordan was the NBA’s Rookie of the Year. Now, 37 years later, the event is coming back at the Canada Summer Games. READ MORE…
