Hopes For More Gold

Cory returned to visit the Canadian Women's Soccer Team after their final practice in Vancouver before the start of the Women's World Cup in Edmonton on June 6.

Thanks to Simon Eaddy, an Assistant Coach with the Canadian Women's Team, Cory had visited them last winter to match his Bronze Medals from the 2012 Winter National Games to their Bronze Medals from London 2012.  He promised a return visit hopefully to help inspire the team to match his Gold Medals from the 2015 Provincial Games with Gold of their own at the World Cup.

A chance for a close look at the official FIFA Canada 2015 ball....

It was a cold very wet day and the team just wanted to get inside to warm up after a 2 hour practice, but they took a few minutes to congratulate Cory and take a close look at his Gold Medals.  

But not too close of a look...athletes can be a superstitious lot and some of the team preferred not to touch the medals.  Goalkeeper Erin McLeod was willing but notice she is holding the medal by the very tips of her fingers.

We wish to thank the team and wish them the very best of Canadian good luck!
