The U15 Canmore Eagles are provincial champions.

Provincials was out of reach for local basketball teams, but there’s a growing confidence for next season.

“They were the rival team all season. Everyone just wanted to win on both sides, for sure.”

“If I shot clean I would have been in the running for a gold medal, and that’s really what I’m after: just having that race that is, I guess, what is an excellent day for me."

“There’s a lot of energy in the locker room; everyone is just so excited to play."

“I was pretty nervous coming into these Games. I set the bar pretty high in PyeongChang and I was wondering how I would be able to top that. I think I definitely topped it: two gold, one silver, one bronze. I’m pretty proud of how my Games went.”

Canmore’s Xavier McKeever found success through failure in the best season of the fast-rising cross-country skier’s career.

Bow Valley Paralympians are proving to once again be an international force at the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics Games.

“This was a big challenge for me. This is the first time I’ve gone that distance since 2011, and it’s a race.”

"You’d be hard-pressed to find an athlete here who isn’t a professional athlete, so we created deeper fields, [and] the competition is much harder to win.”
