Canada Takes Team Gold at 2007 Pan Am Championships

Team Canada has won the Gold despite missing their star player Mike Beres. Beres who is a triple threat (triple crown at Canadian Nationals this year, first time in decades apparently), flew back home to Brantford, Ontario (home of Wayne Gretzky) late last night to get married. However, the rest of the team was able to defeat the Americans 3-1. It would likely have been 3-2 had they played out the last match since the men’s doubles would have been missing Mike Beres. So my predictions were not far off really. The wins here that Canada got will give our players a great boost in their bid to qualify for the upcoming Olympics in Beijing next summer. The points earned here are huge, so Stefan, Anna as well as Mike and Will, should all get a good head start for the qualifying period.
