You Halifax!
All good things must come to an
end and sadly, Sunday marks the
conclusion to the 2011 Canada
Winter Games. Badminton will
complete the competition
schedule early this morning
before we all proceed through
the Halifax Metro Centre for the
official Closing Ceremony.
It's
the Final Countdown
Saturday
marks the last full day of
competition, with only Badminton
remaining on the field of play
prior to the Closing Ceremony on
Sunday.
In the conclusion to men’s
Curling, Ontario will start the
day with a semifinal date
against New Brunswick, followed
by either a gold or bronze medal
match against Manitoba or
Saskatchewan.
Friday in Hockey, Emily Fulton
scored a heart-stopping shootout
goal against Quebec to give the
defending champions a 3-2 win
and put Ontario through to the
gold medal game Alberta.

 Week
Two Medals Start to Roll In
A total of nine medals, three of
each colour, were collected by
Team Ontario on Monday at the
2011 Canada Games. With five
more events handing out medals
on Tuesday, the hope for
continued momentum is high.
Para-alpine skier James
Binsfeld took home the early
medal for Ontario on the first
full day of competition during
Week Two. Binsfeld, who suffers
from a complex cardiac condition
which has caused him to have
multiple strokes, grabbed gold
in the Giant Slalom event.

Ontario Begins
Week Two at the 2011 Canada
Winter Games With Hockey Win
 Action started Sunday night with
Women’s Hockey as Team Ontario
began its title defence with a
4-1 win over BC at Dartmouth
Sportsplex. With eight teams
taking to the field of play,
including seven for the first
time at these Games, Monday
looks to be filled with
excitement for Team Ontario.
There will be five sets of
medals handed out on the first
full day of competition for Week
Two. A quiet first day of
competition for Team Ontario
gave many athletes and coaches
the opportunity to attend the
hockey game and show their team
spirit before taking to the
field of play themselves. Now
it’s time for everyone to wear
the Ontario uniforms and provide
their own exciting times, just
as hockey started things off on
Sunday night.

Welcome to Team Ontario 2011
Welcome

of success at the Canada Games
both on and off the playing
field. Some of our country’s
most notable athletes started
their careers as members of Team
Ontario. Now we will work
together to usher in a new era
of sporting role models.
 On behalf of everyone, thank you
