Team Canada would like to thank the AMG (Australia Masters Games) and all of their hard working volunteers, for putting on this tremendous tournament. Your hospitality during our stay was second to none, and your country, with it's breathless views will never be forgotten. We thank you for everything, (except the cool weather the first few days) it did warm up nicely for the rest of our stay.

It was our pleasure representing Canada, and doing our country proud!.
