The first three games from each gym at the Vancouver Invitational are now posted.  It seems that the Sasksquash weren't the only to be missing players, as the California Quake 2.0 player forgot to bring proof of citizenship with him when crossing the border and was turned around at Canada customs.  The Quake are now down to a Belgian-like bench of five players.  The Bushies are down to six players, as they are without the services of their registered 2.5 athlete, Albert Moscona, who was named to the All-tournament team at the 2001 edition of the Vancouver Invitational.

The medal round crossovers see the Pacific coast rivals, along with their BC boys, square off in BC to see which of them will make it to the final against the winner of Canada East & the Portland Pounders.

The Sasksquash will have to beat Seattle to get into the 5th place game tomorrow, while neighbouring provinces Alberta and British Columbia face off for the other spot.  Those teams unsuccessful in these games will meet for 7th place at 9:30 tomorrow morning.  The Saskatchewan Sasksquash feature the return of longtime member Rick Reelie, who was on five National Championship teams with teammates Al Semeniuk, Daryl Stubel, and Mike Bacon from 1987-1991.  Rick is a longtime Canadian national team member in athletics and a 3-time Paralympian.
