My girlfriend and I just watched Murderball - excellent, very entertaining piece. We live in Victoria BC - I had no idea this sport existed, we'll definately make an effort to check it out next time there is a tourney near by. Keep up the great work,

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the feedback. One of our national squad members lives on The Island in Parksville.
There will be two major tournaments in BC this year, both in Burnaby, with the Vancouver Invitational on Mar. 24-26 and the Canada Cup (a large international event) to be held on June 19-26. Details on these events will be posted to this blog and to the Calendar page of the CWSA web site as they become available.
Most of the Canadians who were involved in the film will be at both tournaments, while the top international teams in the sport will be there for the Canada Cup.
Cheers,
