Talent
Huy Nguyen and Laura McDougall both placed atop their divisions at Junior Nationals with McDougall also winning University of Calgary Female Rookie of the Year. Graduating from the team is Breanne Graham, who placed third at the world championships this scholastic year.
Coaching
The players I’ve spoken to over the year have all given rave reviews of Head Coach Mitch Ostberg. Having spoken to him a few times myself, I’d have to agree with the players.
Achievement
Who said achievement? How about a she-squad worthy of second place at both the Canada West and national championships and a he-squad that placed fourth in both aforementioned events. They may not have won the gold, but that’s about as close as you get.
Overall: B+
Country: England. They’re internationally renowned and strong, but seem to be playing second fiddle to the United States.
