Victoria karate athletes Ella Crowle and Olivia Brodie among those in P.E.I.
The 2023 Canada Winter Games began Saturday with the opening ceremony in Charlottetown, P.E.I., and the athletes knowing it could be just the start of their multi-sport Games dream.
There are, however, summer sports included in the Canada Winter Games to help relieve pressure on the larger Summer Games edition. “This is karate’s inaugural appearance in the Canada Winter Games and something that Ella, Olivia, and I as their coach, have been preparing for since 2020. It’s a pretty big deal for karate to finally make it into the Canada Games,” said Kraig Devlin, head coach of Varsity Performance Karate in Saanich.
Devlin’s young Island charges, too, have begun their international journeys representing Canada as Crowle has competed in the Commonwealth karate championships in Birmingham, England, and Brodie at the Junior Pan American karate championships in Mexico City.
