lol..jsut wonderni...how come all the post is bout team bc?

**westwood_13** · 03-02-2007, 05:17 PM

Because, I assume, Badelbow (whoever he/she is) is affiliated with team bc. Who are you, by the way?

We finished 5th, beating Sask, narrowly. But we also narrowly lost to Alberta and were kept out of the bronze medal match by just a few points in the third game... aaargh.

I should leave as we must go cheer on hockey finals then come home tonight, arriving at 7AM tomorrow... yuck! I quite do not want to come home... this is by far among the best experiences of my life.

I guess if they keep the age limit at U23 I can repeat it, but it's very unlikely they will. Plus I'm not sure if I'll be playing anyway. We'll see! I should get my coaching levels so I can manage.

And will be your turn to shine for ON and carry the team.
Manitoba play well too, the top two guys didn't go to the CWG.
ON "older" - I mean "more experienced" girls carried the team to
semi final.

One of the Team BC Flagbearer is my son and he won the Individual mixed doubles! My other son is a spare for Team BC and he did not go. There are a lot of bros & siss in the badminton teams. You can checkout his bio and find out how young my sons started playing badminton. His younger brother is 2 years younger and they started playing at the same time.

badrules623, good luck on your "last" U16 National in end of May. lucky you! its in ON.

BC team did not have 5 tryouts. The players were selected from 4 out of 5 selected tournaments results. the 5th male member got selected into the BC team with only 10 points more than my second son because he played all 5 tournaments and my son played only 4 with one tournamnet when he got really sick with a stomach flu for a week. So my second son was the spare of the team. BC team almost have bors in the team. My younger son was the 2006 U19 mixed doubles national champion.
