Shifting slightly from Raptors news to Canadian news — Chatham, Ontario’s Bridget Carleton is absolutely HOOPING in the WNBA season. Shifting from trusted bench role player to starting shooter, Carleton brings energy and offensive punch to a Lynx squad that rolls deep. Now, the Minnesota Lynx head into the WNBA playoffs as serious championship contenders.
Back in 2023 when the Lynx came to Toronto to play in the first WNBA Canada Game, Carleton’s coach Cheryl Reeve had glowing reviews about her. Notably, she mentioned trusting Bridget immensely when she sent her out onto the court. Back then, Carleton’s role was mostly defensive minded, but Carleton could also shoot a few daggers.
