Twenty-four teams gathered in Toronto on a snowy January Saturday to battle it out for the Canadian Mixed Doubles Championships. Teams from Rochester NY, Fonthill ON, Niagara ON, Cleveland OH, London ON and Toronto partook in great paddle, cold beer and hot chili.

 Pictured left to right are Dionne Bothner, Steve Pike, Rusty Wright, and Daniela Pino.

At the end of the day – Daniela Pino and Rusty Wright, with new daughter Viviana cheering (or sleeping) in the clubhouse took the final over Dionne Bothner and Steve Pike from Rochester. To make the finals, Daniela and Rusty defeated Ariane and Mike Boire of Toronto while the Rochester duo took out Karen Stone from London and her Toronto partner Carey Lowe.

 Tourament co-ordinators Suzanne Lanthier and Dave Gallagher lost in the consolation final to Anna and Ted Lis of Toronto.

 The next tournament in Toronto is the Canadian Open on March 29 – 30 ^th . We’re looking forward to another strong draw. Maybe a rematch of last years final of Paul Stulac and Scott McFadden and Mike Stulac and Tim Main? For information contact Sara Lanthier at slanthier@corusent.com .
