JUMP, REACH, REBOUND - KALEV TRUDEAU!
Article by Barb Fisher Photos supplied Kalev Trudeau for most of his 16 years has been shooting for the basket since the young age of three when he couldn't wait to tag along with his dad Matt when he coached highschool basketball teams in Wawa. Kalev honed his skill for the game as his passion grew. His first team tournament experience began in grade 6 at Ecole St. Joseph and as he perfected his game and his height stretched to 6'4" it was evident that this kid was a basketball natural. In January of this year Kalev was asked if he would like to play with
the Steel City Slam Basketball Club of Sault Ste Marie. He is now eagerly putting in his practice hours to complement a winning team. Since March Kalev has been travelling every Thursday afternoon to the Soo to practice with his teammates, and then returning to Wawa for the school week until school breaks for the summer. The Steel City Slam Basketball Club Under 17 (U17) and Under 19 (U19) is currently gearing up to host two major tournaments in the Soo, one this year 2019 and one next year 2020.This year's tournament will be held on the weekend May 31 to June 2. Kalev plays for both the
U17 and U19 teams, filling the positions of power forward or centre wherever the team numbers need augmented. He is pumped for the tournament getting underway this weekend and feels confident that his team has the potential to do very well. As basketball continues to grow throughout the province, the beginning of a new branding initiative will see the overall culminating event referred to as the Ontario Basketball Championships with the Provincial Championships and Ontario Cup contained within the competition structure. Teams earning a spot in Division 1 will compete at the Provincial Championships for that age group, while the remainder of teams will compete in traditional Ontario Cup format. The potential for rising Canadian basketball stars is huge.The Provincial Championships will be played at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in Scarborough June 13 to 16 to determine who will be crowned the Ontario provincial champions. The winning team from each Provincial Championships across Canada will then travel to Orlando Florida to represent Canada against boys' and girls' basketball teams from around the world. This year's Ontario Basketball Championship Tournaments will be exciting events to attend. So if you are in the Soo on the May 31 to June 2 weekend, make sure you check out the tournament venues and join Kalev's family and friends in cheering him and his team on to Ontario Cup victory.
