Game Day

After our final day of pre-competition practice, the Team Manitoba Female Under-18 team is preparing for their first game of the Canada Winter Games later this afternoon.

Sunday's practice was, despite the accompanying picture of Jenelle Kohanchuk, Katie Wilson and Addie Miles, an intense affair as the entire squad applied themselves and put forth a solid, fast paced effort heading into the game against the Northwest Territories. Today's game can be viewed via tape delay on the Aboriginal People's Television Network (APTN) at 8:00 CST. APTN is available on most Manitoba cable networks in the channel 73-75 range. The game can also be seen via web streaming at www.aptn.ca.

Following the practice it was the player's first down time of the week. Many headed down to the Canada Games Centre (a beautiful venue which cost $47 million to build two years ago but would be estimated at over $100 million today). The players took in some squash games as well as watching our Team Manitoba Table Tennis and Gymnastics practices. The evening was a quiet affair with the team resting up for the big game today.
