Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be keeping the Canadian Wheelchair Rugby community up to date with what is going on with our National Team. They are now on their way to start a three week tour of the US. Before anyone else starts humming the theme from Gilligan's Island, I am hoping that nothing goes wrong with the travel, but there is always something that happens at the last moment.

On any given trip there is always something that makes it memorable. Perhaps at the time you just want to have it over and done with, but upon later reflection, these are often the best intriguing moments of the trip. As I write this, I've just learned from the CWRC High Performance Coordinator, Marco Dispaltro, that three of our athletes are going to be delayed on the Road to Atlanta. These are the same athletes who went down to the States a week early in order to take in a Division II tournament in Fort Lauderdale as a pre-comp warmup.

At the Fort Lauderdale Airport in Florida, National Squad member Say Luangkhamdeng was randomly chosen to be searched, and both Patrice Simard and Steven Dunn were held back from the same flight, possibly due to over-bookings by the airline. They will get into Atlanta at 7:20 this evening rather than their scheduled time of 2:40. C'est la vie.
