My wife and I were able to attend the last 4 days of the Canada Cup.
We were very impressed by the way that the tournament was run and the courteousness of the staff and the volunteers.

Our experience was a very positive one. The tournament did an extremely good job of handling the 3 different levels of play. We found ourselves watching more of the Special Olympics games than we expected. The excitement of these players was great to see.

We hope to be able to attend the event for many years to come.
Thank you for all of your hard work.

"Your vision to bring a first rate tournament to Canada for the 18U is commendable. From the opening ceremonies until the closing our girls were just in awe and bewilderment to have brushed shoulders with so much talent."
