In the first quarter of our Bronze Medal game, GB's Ross Morrison stripped the ball from our 1.5, but we were able to balance the situation when Morrison threw a long bomb which was intercepted by Mike Whitehead.

The score by Quarter was:

Q1   7 - 7
Q2   6 - 4
Q3   8 - 7
Q4   2 - 1

During our 6-minute shutdown of the GB offence in the final quarter, our "Court General," Garett Hickling, who overcame a lot of adversity to be back in game shape after major spinal cord surgery this season, played the entire six minutes of that key defensive effort. & Typically at these Worlds, we were using "G" only in specific game situations, but he played considerably longer in the final game to help us secure the bronze medal.

We created seven turnovers and gave up five balls throughout the course of the game, and the coaching staff and the players are happy with their bronze medal.

"One of the strengths of the Canadian team at these worlds was our ability to finish strong," said Canadian Assistant Coach Adam Frost. He commented further to note that "...our athletes superior conditioning gave us the ability to play our game and control the ball throughout the entire game... and put us in a position to finish strong." He thanked the support team that we brought with us, which helped out immeasurably in the team's success, commenting particularly on our new system of athlete cooling, which we have been working on with staff from the Pacific Sport Group in Victoria.
