have the option of sports camps on site
or daycare for their kids, so they know
they can compete while their children
are safe and entertained.
“This also means athletes,
many of who are parents can
turn this into a family trip and
really enjoy the experience.
During evenings we haven’t
scheduled any round robin
games. Instead we’ll have a
feature match on site with
nightly entertainment. In
addition to the nightly DJs and
live bands, we plan to have an
international team Karaoke
tournament with cash prizes on
the Tuesday. A Canadian beer
tasting on the Wednesday, A
Scotch and Whiskey tasting on
the Thursday night, a big name
rock band on Friday night with
the international trade night
happening just before and then
Saturday a wrap up party with
another live big name rock
band and party.”
Having just returned
from this year’s world
championships in London,
England, Seywright says he’s
excited about this 2018 World
Championship event and what
it will mean for the city.
“Lecco was huge, London was
impressive, but Winnipeg will offer all
of the same big city features with much
more personal touch, class and care,”
he said. “We’re Friendly Manitoba
and now we get to share that with the
world.” l
