The Nova Scotia men’s goalball team brought home some silver hardware this weekend! After entering the finals undefeated at the annual Montreal Open Goalball Tournament, they captured the first medal for Nova Scotia at this tournament since 2015.
Our very own Mason Smith was the tournament high scorer, with an impressive 29 goals.
