B.C. Junior
Men Grab Water Polo Gold
May 23, 2005
B.C.'s Junior
Men grabbed top spot at the SPEEDO 2005 National Club
Championships held over the weekend in Montreal. Brandon Jung
scored 5 goals to lead B.C.'s Pacific Storm water polo team to
a decisive 8-4 victory over Quebec's Dollard-des-Ormeaux. The
BC men were undefeated in the tournament that brings together
the best Junior (under 20) players in Canada.

"Our
experience won the game" said head coach Ian Goodman,
"we capitalized on every opportunity". At the half
Pacific Storm led 5 - 2 and then "went on cruise
control", adds Goodman, to claim the victory.
Pacific
Storm's Brandon Jung was named the tournament MVP. Steve
Ardell and Clem Hui were named to the Junior National All Star
team. |
With this
victory BC further strengthens its place as the dominant force
in Canadian water polo. It is the fourth gold medal in as many
weeks for BC's Pacific Storm teams.
Next on the
National water polo calendar is the Canadian National Water
Polo League (CNWPL) Senior Men's and Women's final play off
round. B.C. will be represented by Pacific Storm teams June
3-5 in Montreal, Quebec.
