Trevor Hirschfield Named 2 All-Star

Trevor Hirschfield of Parksville was named to the All-Star Team at the 2012 Canada Cup International Wheelchair Rugby Tournament over the weekend held at the Richmond Oval.

Hirschfield was selected as “Best 1.0” player overall at the event and was the only Canadian to receive an All-Star selection.

This award is only one of his many honours as he was also named to the All-Star Team at the 2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships.

At this event, he finished with 13 goals and 2 steals, which makes him the best in his class.

“Trevor is a phenomenal defensive player,” said Head Coach Kevin Orr. “He can check players with way more function
than him and he’s got great ball sense.”

The Canadians finished the tournament with a Silver Medal after losing 53-51 in a close contest to the US.

The 2012 Canada Cup International Wheelchair Rugby Tournament is one of the most elite wheelchair rugby tournaments
outside of a Paralympics or World Championships.

All eight teams competing will participate in the 2012 London Paralympics and Canada Cup is the last stop before this event.

The event was well attended and by all accounts it will be one sport to watch!!
