“I was very nervous. I just wanted to put my best foot forward and show what we were capable of, but looking back on it now, it almost feels like it was an out-of-body experience,” said Nash.
“It’s a new look team for sure. That captures it,” said Edney. “We’ve got some familiar faces who were breaking into the scene a couple of years ago but essentially it’s a young, hungry team, a new generation of athletes. I would say from my standpoint, a generation that has seen some of the past successes of our team.
The retirements of all the main Canadian stalwarts and the departure of long-time head coach Wolfgang Staudinger opened the door for a complete rebuild after Beijing 2022. Luge Canada hired Robert Fegg, who had most recently been head coach of the United States luge team, but had also been with the Canadian program in the early 2000s. Former American slider Duncan Kennedy, who heads the sled technology program, joined Luge Canada in 2020.
The rest of the new-look Canadian team includes Calgarians Carolyn Maxwell, Devin Wardrope and Cole Zajanski, as well as Trinity Ellis of Pemberton, B.C.
Someone needs to rebuild our faith in the Canadian athlete. It certainly wasn’t the soccer players, a lot of advertising a lot of hype and little production. If this team thinks they have a chance, I say let them have it!
