The Canadian Under19 team known as the Wolfpack are back in Australia. They played a series of matches just prior to IC08 and are doing the same thing again this year.

Their first hitout was against the Ballarat school St Patrick's college, which traditionally has a very strong football talent pool drawn from far and wide as the school has many borders from other rural areas in Victoria as well as interstate.

The Canadians went down to St Pats in the match but Mike McFarlane told us that "Our boys were a little in awe for most of the first half but in the second half they played really well and competed right to the final siren. St.Pats told us that they were impressed by the boys tackling and general skill level and the way they keep going right to the end regardless of the score. They said that they had to work hard for the win. Our best players were Nico Valderamma, Cormac Hotti and Chris Steer."

Three women in Edmonton tried out Aussie Rules at their local club, the Edmonton Emus. Two of them are now competing in this year’s International Cup Women’s Division with the Canadian Northern Lights.

Karyn Huxley was more familiar with Canadian football - she was a member of the Edmonton Eskimos cheer team for three years. But after marrying her Aussie husband, Cameron, she was introduced to a new kind of football. After becoming bored with dancing, Huxley wanted to try something different and gave footy a go. She accepts that as a contact sport Aussie rules has a physical aspect, but for her footy is fun game, more about stamina and running. There’s also the social and community aspect of football, and she really likes the family vibe at the Emus.

Also playing with Edmonton are Neda Dalili and Lucy Nolan. Nolan was born in Australia but was unfamiliar with the rules and had never played the game before moving to Canada. She started playing out of curiosity after meeting coach Tristan Waldock having a kick about in her local park, and soon found the game addictive. Unlike non-contact sports which she found frustrating, Nolan found the perfect sport in Aussie Rules, and likes how everyone gets to kick, catch, pass and tackle.
