Sport Nova Scotia announces Ricoh Sport Award Finalists Halifax, NS (May 24, 2016) – National greats, provincial record-smashers and homegrown international champions were highlighted today, as Sport Nova Scotia announced the names of the finalists for the 2016 Ricoh Sport Awards. “We have an exciting group of finalists to highlight this year,” said Jamie Ferguson, CEO of Sport Nova Scotia. “Among them, we have a fourteen-year-old soccer phenom, a crowd-thrilling basketball team that ended a nearly 30-year drought, a Parapan Am Games gold medalist, and an Olympic veteran who is favoured to be on the podium in Rio. There are stories of obstacles for the best junior curlers on the planet, a soccer official who is one of only four female referees in Canada appointed to the FIFA referee list, and a 32 year-old top national gymnast who is only getting better with age.” The Ricoh Sport Awards recognize the achievements of Nova Scotia’s greatest athletes, teams, coaches, officials, and volunteers in amateur sport over the past year. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Ricoh’s title sponsorship. “Each of these nominees has already been selected by their provincial sport organization as the best in their sport. They have then come through a rigorous selection process where they are judged against the best from numerous other sports, and emerged on top,” says Ferguson. “They are the types of people who inspire us and, through their leadership, help build our sport system. Nova Scotians can be very proud of this group.” Over 180 selections were submitted by Provincial Sport Organizations. Overall finalists were selected based on their best achievement of the season, in addition to their performance throughout the year. The overall finalists were announced in seven of the ten categories.

In 2015, she had a year to remember as she participated in a medal game at every major event she attended. Despite not being able to win a medal, she strives for excellence in every aspect of officiating the game of soccer. She is one of only four female referees in Canada that has been appointed to the FIFA referee list. Last summer, she refereed in the Nova Scotia Soccer League's men's and women's Premiership finals. In the fall, she worked the AUS gold-medal game and the bronze-medal game at the CIS championship. Moving up to the international level, she officiated at the U17 and U20 CONCACAF events while getting the assignment to do the U17 final. To top it off, she took her whistle to Toronto for the Pan American Games and earned the honour of refereeing in the bronze-medal match. Marie Claude Gregoire, Triathlon Marie Claude officiates at many races every year, travelling from small towns in Nova Scotia to international multi-sport games. Two thousand fifteen was a busy year as her assignments included many prestigious events. Here at home, she worked at the Navy triathlon and the Riverport triathlon. Moving up a level, she officiated at the Magog Triathlon, an international event on the Americas Cup circuit which also served as the national championship. Marie-Claude also took her expertise to Edmonton for a World Triathlon Series event and to the Chicago Grand Final for the world championships. Along the way, she also officiated a world paratriathlon event in Detroit. Her top assignment of the summer came in July when she presided over the triathlon events at the Pan Am Games in Toronto. Gorden Woodworth, Curling Gorden has been the chief umpire for the Nova Scotia Curling Association for the past ten years. In this role, he is responsible for recruiting, training and maintaining a cadre of umpires to provide services for provincial events. This past year, Gorden worked as the chief umpire at the men's and women's provincial tournament at the Mayflower Club in Halifax. This was the first combined Scotties/Tankard held in Nova Scotia and required all of Gorden's expertise and experience to make it run smoothly. Because this event served as a qualifier for the nationals, and eventually the world championship, it required him to clearly set the rules and consistently enforce them. His fine work earned him a key role at the 2015 Ford World Men's Curling Championship. He also served at the Canadian Special Olympics in Corner Brook, a seniors’ event in Digby, and at a Pinty's Grand Slam event in Truro. Coach of the Year – finalists Andrew Atherton, Curling As coach of the Canadian team skipped by Mary Fay at the World Junior Curling Championships in Taarnby, Denmark, Andrew had to regroup his team after an upset loss in the playoffs. They had gone 9-0 in round-robin play, but lost to Team USA in the playoff game. Given a chance to redeem themselves, they rebounded with a 9-4 win over Hungary in the semifinal. That set up a rematch against the Americans in the final and Atherton was able to prepare his athletes to play their best, and they did as they claimed gold with a 7-4 victory. Andrew is the first coach from Nova Scotia to lead a junior women's team to the top of the podium. He did so despite the challenge presented by a line-up change at the start of the season; but with solid planning, the team had great training sessions and was able to peak for key competitions. David Kikuchi, Gymnastics David coached Nova Scotia's top two gymnasts last year, including Ellie Black who won five medals at the Pan Am Games in Toronto. Kikuchi also guided Ellie to Canadian records at the world championships and the American Cup. Ellie finished fourth in the all-around in qualifying, on her way to placing seventh in the finals at worlds while setting a new mark with a third-place finish in the all-around at the American Cup. Hugh Smith, another of the four national team members that Kikuchi coaches, landed the top mark in the all-around at the final Olympic qualifier, earning one spot for the Canadian men in Rio. As head coach at Halifax Alta Gymnastics Club, David also coaches nine other national and international level gymnasts. Athletes he coached won nine medals at Elite Canada in February and fifteen medals at the national championships in May of 2015. Last year, David was inducted into the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame alongside his father, Tak. Mark Smith, Softball Last summer at the Pan American Games, Mark achieved a double-gold performance unlike any other softball coach before him. As coach of the men's and women's national teams, Mark guided both squads to Pan Am gold in Toronto. The feat was made even sweeter by an upset of the heavily favoured U.S.

Once again, Atlantic Canada is proud to have so many accomplished performers representing our country in Rio. Some of these athletes live and train in the region while others have relocated to other areas of the country to pursue their goals. One thing they all share is the incredible support that they have received from their family, friends, former coaches and communities who all have played critical roles in their success. The Canadian Sport Centre Atlantic is pleased to play a role in helping these athletes reach their Olympic and Paralympic dreams. This achievement is a result of hard work on a daily basis by the athletes and coaches.

  • Olympic Canoe/Kayak Flatwater Medals & USA Results
    Olympic Canoe/Kayak Flatwater Medals & USA Results By Dan Henderson The goal of this paper is to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the history of USA Canoe/Kayak Sprint performance, and where it is trending. From the data it’s clear that the USA Team international performance has been in decline, and there’s not much farther down to go. The American Canoe Association, the National Governing Body for canoe/kayak racing in the United States, is tasked with a turnaround project to stop the decline and improve performance. I believe there’s a set of solutions and that those of us within the sport now can find it: that we can provide the opportunities for American youth to prepare for and successfully compete with the best in the world, that given the opportunity many American youth will step up to the challenge and prepare and compete. Fundamental is that national leadership initiate a discussion involving all stakeholders as to what is to be accomplished, and how to develop performance based structures and programs, to build an attitude of confidence and high expectations to move our nation’s performance forward in a positive direction. It is my hope that this paper will initiate that discussion.
