FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
It is with great pleasure that we make the first announcement for the Team Ontario Training
Squad for the 2016 National Winter Games which will take place in Corner Brook,
Newfoundland from February 29 – March 6, 2016. The National Games will host 960 athletes,
coaches and mission staff from across the country. Team Ontario is comprised of 186 athletes,
56 coaches and 14 Team Management.
The athletes named to Team Ontario will begin their training immediately in preparation for
National Games with the goal to be selected to Team Canada for the 2017 World Winter Games
to be held in Austria. We feel the members of Team Ontario will represent our province with
dignity, respect and with great enthusiasm to perform at their highest ability. We are very
excited to be working with the members for National Games.
Congratulations to all members named to the Team Ontario training squad.
Sincerely,
Juli Prokopchuk Brattan
