“My favourite part about it is seeing all the athletes come together in such a wide range of diversity. Being able to see so many people meet each other from different provinces has been truly special. Seeing the pin trading getting the younger kids to socialize is also super special.” - Lucas Hulton

“The connectivity with other people, volunteers, and athletes has been very fun. Personally, for me, when the players are in the penalty boxes, some of them really like to joke around and have a bit of fun for 5-10 minutes. It’s really nice, even though they basically just did something wrong.” - Jayden Morrison
