Canada is hosting its second WNBA game this upcoming weekend as the Seattle Storm and LA Sparks tip off in Edmonton.
After the wild success of last year’s game in Toronto, the league decided to bring another preseason WNBA game back north. Luckily again this year, there is another Canadian set to suit up to play on home soil, after Bridget Carleton got to represent for the Minnesota Lynx last year.
"It's exciting for us. We hope to go to Canada and learn about our team, but also that there is a girl that watches that game in person, and walks out with a new fire in her belly about women's basketball"
