QUOTES

“Everyone played, everyone contributed, everyone got on the stat sheet, everyone scored. Anytime you can finish off a tournament that way you feel pretty good about the progress you’ve made. Every one of these players has an extremely high ceiling in terms of their potential and there’s lots of growth ahead to look forward to.” – Lisa Thomaidis, Head Coach

“It was awesome getting to know this new group coming in and getting to play with them for this first phase of the summer. We’re looking forward to improving during the rest of the summer […] and also for the next four years. It’s exciting to get to know this new group of players who will be the new family for Canada Basketball and represent the country.” – Katherine Plouffe
