WIN THE DAY!

Our saying for this summer is WIN THE DAY, and that is exactly what we did everyday of this training camp.  To cap it off we pulled off of a very physical win against China tonight, who is a team that has already qualified for the Olympics.  It might not have been the most exciting high scoring game, but we gave ourselves a chance to win with the defence that Canada is accustomed to playing.  We knew the third game in a row against China would be a grudge match, and instead of backing down we decided to be the aggressors.
We have always talked about the chemistry team Canada has and this summer is no exception.  From the beginning you could tell everyone came in with the same goal, the same commitment.  This has probably been one of the most competitive training camps we have ever had.  You could really tell everyone worked hard and put in the extra time this year to be ready for our dream!
So the first of our training camps has come to an end.  We would like to thank everyone who supported us and came out the our games against China and our practices at UFV.  For those who tuned in and watched online and a very special thanks to Basketball BC for all they have done for us while we have been out here.
We are back together again June 1st in Ontario.  Thank you for all you support and encouragement.
Go Canada Go!
