Congratulations to all the Captains of the countries represented. There are some good players on there and I"m sure some strong Captains. I look forward to meeting you all in Nottingham. As most of you know it"s been a bit of a struggle for Sean and myself to get a team together but with great support from APAT it looks like we will make it after all. It"s a great honour to play for your country and I know our Team is proud to do so. The Team Canada home base in Nottingham will be at Hooters and your all welcome to join us for a pint and some hotwings. Good luck all and we will see you in August.

(clears throat)
Hey.
I"m not a lumberjack,
or a fur trader...
and I don"t live in an igloo
or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...
and I don"t know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I"m certain they"re really, really nice.
I have a Prime Minister,
not a President.
I speak English and French, (Just for Paul)
NOT American.
and I pronouce it ABOUT,
NOT A BOOT.
I can proudly sew my country"s flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.
DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,
AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.
A TOQUE IS A HAT,
A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,
AND IT IS PRONOUCED "ZED" NOT "ZEE", "ZED"!
CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS!
THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY!
AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!
MY NAME IS CRAIG!
AND I AM CANADIAN!
Red White and True....

Ok then, looks like everyone is getting ready for the tournament. I thought Id take this oppertunity to say what a great honour this will be. I realize that some of the other teams had some issues as well and its been difficult for everyone to make it this far. Those of you who know me or have been reading my posts will know the difficulties Team Canada has had in the past couple months. Team Canada wouldnt have been possable without APAT and more specifically Des Duffy"s help. I really appritiate it Des as do the other members of Team Canada. This wouldnt have been possable without your help so a big Thanks. I know that the goal of this tournament is to win, and that is definetly high in Team Canada"s to do list. However, what over shadows this is the oppertunitly to sit down at a poker table and represent my country against some of the best players that Amateur Poker has to offer. Ok, so without any further bs, Id like to wish all Teams good luck at the tournament, but the best of luck to Canada.
-
I must say that the dedication of my fellow members of team Canada has to be second to none. I will see you soon.
shopping list,
1 book for Paul (if dave ever gets back to me, he might be on vacation)
4 hats ( same as above)
1 case of beer ( only a canadian would consider making an international flight and bringing beer with them)
1 maple syrup (for my pal neil banks last time it broke on the headphones i sent him, oops)
1 good dose of fantastic team and country spirit.
:) I cant wait.
TY DES!

If Bainn combs his beard, I"m assuming you"ll trim the beaver?

Should Team Canada win the event, Beaver trimming will commence.

I would also like to thank people with the APAT who have helped find players for Canada.
ALSO, I would like to thank Craig for all his work in getting the 2010 World Team Champions: Canadian Team, together.
Great work pal!!!

All I can say after meeting the team and seeing them in action.....
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Here you go, feel the pride -
O Canada (http://www.bain.uklinux.net/ocanada.ogg)

Many congratulations to Team Canada on your silver medal success at the first attempt ! It was great to meet you all, you certainly brought plenty of "colour" to the championships... ;) and we"re already looking forward to doing it all over again next year.
-
Well done to Canada. Enjoyed meeting you and having you there really added to the international feel of this event. Hope to see you next year.
-
Team Canada, excellent showing at the inaugural worlds team event. I am very proud of all four of You. It was a very close run thing and we lucked out to the tune of 1 point. Do not be discouraged you were all Awsome and anybody who disagrees will have me to contend with.
You certainly lifted the atmosphere with your determination and willingness to play poker and table chat. Your company was great and enjoyed a few beers and laughs along the way. I really hope you can defend again next year. Mike, what a star you are. You travelled half the globe at your own expense and played like a Trojan, total respect to you man.
Sean and Cath, you played brilliantly, and Craig? What a captain, lead from the front, i"d be proud to have you on any team of mine mate. Great stuff guys and gal, God Bless Canada :)
You made a lot of friends and admirers here in the U.K. and quite understandable.
Hope to see you soon,
Paul Mac

Right, well where do I start. Very proud of my team, they did brilliant and I couldnt have asked for anything more. Thanks to all of you who supported us in our first event and big well done to Team Wales, a great bunch of guys. Was I loud? Your dam right I was, this meant alot to me and I apoligise if it threw anyone off their game. Sorry about that, but I guess I let the excitment get to me a bit, and really why shouldnt it. I thought the venue was a little to strict when it came to celebrating. I may have deserved it on the first day and Ill put my hands up to that, but definetly not the second, I thought it was getting a little to vindictive by then. I said a couple things on my facebook page regarding this, however I had a little chat with Tighty and I realised that it may impact APAT's reputation, this was definetly not my intention and when Tighty explained that, I removed it immediately. I stand by what I said and I believe it was my right to voice my opinion, however I have nothing but respect for what APAT does and would never knowingly hurt the reputation Des and his Team have built. Anyway Ill leave it there. Well done to Northern Ireland as well, they did their country proud and are a great bunch of guys..I came into this comp really not caring how we did as long as we were represented and to be honest I still feel that way, dont get me wrong Im happy as hell we won a medal but thats not the reason we entered. To play against some of the best amateur players Europe has to offer is why Team Canada was there. To actually win a medal was beyond anything I could have hoped for and Im very proud of my team for doing that, thanks guys..Apat...another amazing job, how you guys do it day after day after day is beyond me, why you do it is another matter entirly, thanks guys. Thats onther sucess under your belts..I hope I speak for all of Team Canada when I say to all the Teams, well done and we will see you next year...

No debate on this please. I"ve said what I wanted to say and that"s the end of it. It has dragged out far to long. No more comments will be responded to.

I have been asked to close this thread and although I am not aware of the circumstances surrounding the discussion (I was busy elsewhere) I will do so.
If anyone has an issue with this, please PM me with your reasons and I will re-consider.
