Check out what Jess Fortman ('11) had to say about the recent Canadian Thanksgiving Holiday...
We love our Canadian teammates, Teresa Semalulu and Brittany Hedderson, because of their great personalities and the strengths they bring to the court; however, around this time of year we are most thankful for them bringing Canadian Thanksgiving here to America! On Monday, October 11 after a hard practice, we came together as a team to celebrate the holiday and bring a little piece of Canada to Buffalo. Unfortunately, Teresa had class and was not able to attend the festivities, but luckily Britt was there to eat enough for both Canadians to feel full! The rest of the team and coaches also filled up on turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and other Thanksgiving favorites. We even managed to save some food for our teammates that couldn’t attend. Canadian decorations, compliments of Paja, adorned the walls of the conference room we gathered in. We had a lot of fun and were blessed to have another opportunity in the year to take time to remember how thankful we are for each other, our families and friends, and all of the blessings that fill our lives. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
