B.C. tops Alberta 79-32 in wheelchair basketball final; Caledonia Nordic Ski Club biathlete Liam Simons teams up for his silver in relay; B.C. boys denied hockey hardware
His road to gold started in 2015 when he was 15 years old and he played in his first Canada Winter Games in his Prince George hometown.
“It’s an emotional one,” said Ewert. “Ten years of my life in the Canada Games program – If you are going to finish something, you might as well finish on the top of the mountain.” “One of the strengths of this group was our depth. It wasn’t one superstar. Different games happened and different people got into foul trouble and injuries. We just had a lot of trust one through 12 and that really showed here with this result.
Ewert announced before he left for P.E.I. that this would be his last major basketball tournament. The UNBC student plans to concentrate more on wheelchair rugby while pursuing his goal to become a medical doctor. “It’s an incredible group of kids; they’ve worked incredibly hard: empty gyms, long days – working and just doing it together. We did it as a team, and it’s great to see – it culminated with our best performance of the last eight years in the biggest game. Myself and the rest of the coaching staff could not be more proud.”Meanwhile, in biathlon, Liam Simons of Prince George won his second medal of the Games in the final event Saturday, helping B.C. claim silver in the mixed team relay.
Prince George minor hockey product Ryder Green started in net for B.C. and played the first two periods, allowing four goals on 29 shots.
