Lakehead Head Coach Owen Dawkins said this will be a good learning experience for his younger wrestlers against the best in Canada.  “For them; I think this will be exciting because they’re up against wrestlers of their own age so they can judge where they stand against their peers, have fun, and see how much they’ve improved after one or two varsity seasons.”
