Whitehorse 2007

Overview

The 2007 Canada Winter Games were held in Whitehorse, Yukon from February 23th to March 10th. Team Sask landed in fifth place for medal standings (37: 9 gold, 13 silver, and 15 bronze) and captured the coveted Centennial Cup, awarded to the most improved team Games-to-Games.

The Games produced a number of notable alumni who would use their experience as part of Team Sask as a springboard for world-class competition. Regina's Mark McMorris, who competed in snowboard in 2007, is among one of Team Sask's most decorated alumni; he earned a bronze medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics as well as medal finishes at each Winter X Games from 2011 through 2016. After her two golds at the 2007 CWG, Marsha Hudey of White City would also go on to compete in Speed Skating - Long Track at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, placing 32nd in the 500m.
