EDMONTON (September 14, 2022) - Now that the dust has settled, Dodgeball Canada would first like to congratulate our athletes and coaches on a successful appearance at the 2022 World Dodgeball Championships. Athletes from across the nation were chosen to represent six distinct teams participating in three divisions across two disciplines.
“This event was very special to the community, as it signaled an international return to play for the World Dodgeball Federation,” noted federation president Duane Wysynski.
For 6 months, teams travelled and trained with the hopes of medalling at the World Championships. That dream came true for all three of our Foam Division Teams with both Mixed and Women’s winning gold and Men’s securing a bronze.
Men’s Foam Won Bronze
Mixed Foam Won Gold
MVP: Jaycie Morris – Mixed Foam Gold Medal Match
Women’s Foam Won Gold
MVP: Jenna Flannigan – Women’s Foam Gold Medal Match
Our premiere Cloth Division Teams fought exceptional hard against the European Teams where this style of game originates.
Men’s Cloth Placed 4th
Mixed Cloth Placed 6th
Women’s Cloth Placed 7th
We would like to thank our sponsors for their support in making this event possible. Their generous donations of funds, products or services allowed us to welcome the world to Edmonton: Quality Foods, Explore Edmonton, Edmonton Transit, FKA Marketing, Ballistae, RxN Gear, Longroof Brewing Co., The Growlery Beer Co., Sport Travel, VC Ultimate, Delta Hotels, Air Canada, MVMT Physio & Chiro, FloormarX, Sertus Solutions Inc., Frontier Marketing, House of Dodge, Paws Off Cleaning Co., and Just Bite Me Meals.
Last, and certainly not least, we want to thank our volunteers, referees, and organizing committee. The months of long hours and sleepless nights you all endured does not go unnoticed. Without you we wouldn’t have been able to host the world’s largest Dodgeball Championship and have it run exceptionally well.
See you all in Austria at the 2024 World Dodgeball Championships!
