Estevan was well represented at the 2025 Canada Cup in Thorold, Ont., over the weekend, with three athletes and a coach playing key roles on Team Saskatchewan’s U17 and under-16 U16 Selects squads.
The U17 Green Selects, featuring Estevan players Keith Daae and Aidan Turner and coached by Bryton Such, captured the bronze medal. The team posted a 4–2 overall record, finishing second in their pool with wins over the Newfoundland and Labrador Canada Games team (NL CG) and the Manitoba Canada Summer Games team (Manitoba CSG), along with a narrow loss to Alberta U17.
In the playoffs, Saskatchewan swept Nova Scotia Royal in the quarterfinals, dropped a competitive semifinal to the Team Ontario Regional Program (TORP), and secured third place with a 3–1 win over Manitoba CSG. Balanced offence, reliable serves, receives, and strong net play were key factors in the team’s success.
On the U16 side, captain Cameron Milbrandt led the White Selects to the quarterfinals. After placing second in their pool, the team earned a 3–0 win over the Ontario Tall Maples in the round of 16. Their tournament ended with a 3–1 loss to Alberta Black in the quarterfinals, highlighted by a hard-fought comeback in the third set.
The performances underscored Estevan’s growing presence and competitive strength on the provincial and national volleyball stage.
