Story/Interview Opportunities

Athletes/Teams/Coaches To Watch

1. In the last year, ringette player Jayme Dorsett was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, sidelined from ringette, worked hard to get her health back in check, and is now cleared of Crohn’s Disease and a member of Team Manitoba’s 2019 Canada Games ringette team. 
2. Shortly after turning 18, Emma Issacs was paralyzed and lost the ability to participate in gymnastics, her favourite sport. Isaacs sought out another sport and discovered wheelchair basketball through a connection at physiotherapy and she’s one of 9 members of Team Manitoba’s wheelchair basketball team.

3. Team Toba Canada Winter Games alumni speed skaters Reece Derraugh (2007), Stefan Waples (2003), and Kyle Gendron (2007) drove to Red Deer from Calgary and Edmonton to visit with and cheer on the 2019 CWG speed skating team!
