It’s a new chapter for the Canadian Senior Women’s basketball team, and they proved that in the first game of the FIBA AmeriCup.
After disappointing results at the Olympics last year, the team went through a “cultural reset” that included hiring a new coaching staff. At the helm of the program is Olympic Gold Medalist Coach Nell Fortner, who has experience, of course, at the international level, but also in the WNBA and in college. She’s an exciting leader for this team, given her winning experience, and just what this program needs to capitalize on the talent coming out of Canada these days.
