– Zak Madell scored 22 points through the first three quarters then watched his Canadian teammates secure a 54-45 victory over France on Thursday afternoon in day one action at the Canada Cup wheelchair rugby tournament. The game was a rematch of the fifth-place encounter between the two countries at the Paralympic Games last summer in Tokyo, which Canada won by eight points. “We got a lot of good takeaways from this game,” said Madell, from Okotoks, Alta., a three-time Paralympian who was second in tournament scoring at Tokyo 2020. “This is huge to have this tournament, especially with the lack of games during the pandemic,” said Madell.
