Nova Scotia Men Dominate the Montreal Open Winning Gold!

The Nova Scotia Men’s team dominates in convincing fashion to capture Gold at the Montreal Open Goalball tournament, January 25th and 26th, 2014 in Montreal Quebec.  The team disappointed all challengers by not allowing a single goal to be scored against them during the tournament!   We stopped counting but are told the final tally was 30 – 0 for team Nova Scotia!  Great job boys!
