Canada Winter Games 2015 Results: Daily Medal Winners and Updated Schedule

It's time for one of the Great White North's bi-annual traditions with the start of the 2015 Canada Winter Games taking place from February 13 through March 1. 

For the first time, one of the biggest sporting events in Canada is taking place in British Columbia. Prince George is serving as the host for this year's showcase.

The Canada Games is a great way to show off the present and future of sports in the country. Some of the biggest athletes in the world have made their mark here, including NHL superstar Sidney Crosby (2003), former NBA MVP Steve Nash (1993) and five-time Olympic medalist Hayley Wickenheiser (1991). 

There are expected to be more than 2,400 athletes competing in this year's Games, hoping to achieve the success Crosby, Nash and Wickenheiser went on to. 

Given that hockey is Canada's official sport, one potential breakout star is 15-year-old British Columbia native Jordan Bellerive. He's quickly become a fixture on the amateur hockey scene thanks to goals like this one in the 2012 AAA provincials. 

Bellerive and hockey will be one of the many stories to focus on over the next two weeks. Canada's elite amateur athletes always deliver something special and leave the future of sports in the country looking very strong. 

Keep reading for a look at daily results from Prince George, as well as the schedule and a daily medal count for all the winners.

Day 15 Recap

The penultimate day of competition at the Canada Winter Games also saw a rush of medals handed out. All that remains is the hockey championship to be decided on Sunday, but there was plenty of notable action in other sports on Saturday. 

Ontario, in particular, had a good day with four gold medals in badminton, women's team squash, men's judo and the men's cross country skiing relay. In addition to those triumphs, the province secured a bronze in the women's judo competition 

Table tennis was the big attraction with five finals taking place. Filip Ilijevski was the biggest winner with a gold medal in the men's singles and doubles with his partner Moxi Guo. The best matches of the day were in the mixed doubles, with both the gold and bronze medal bouts going to five sets. 

Chen Ming Mo and Alicia Cote squeaked past Xuebo Li and Amy Nichols in a thrilling 13-11 tiebreaker during the final set. Michael Luo and Leanne Lee needed the tiebreakers early in the bronze medal match against Josh MacMillan and Leigha Shiels, winning the first two sets 12-10 and 14-12. 

MacMillan and Shiels won the next two sets, but Luo and Lee got their mojo back in the final set with an 11-3 romp to take a medal home. 

On the squash court, there was no drama in the women's gold medal match. Ontario breezed by British Columbia in four sets, winning each of them. It was much more interesting watching the battle for bronze, as Alberta and Manitoba split four sets. 

However, by virtue of having 10 total points in the four sets compared to seven for Manitoba, Alberta was awarded a bronze medal.

Day 14 Recap

Even though there were a number of medals handed out on the 14th day of the Canada Winter Games, it was really about setting up what would happen during the final two days of competition. 

In the medal events, Oceane Fillion and Francis Jobin took gold in the women's and men's slope style. Fillion breezed by runner-up Baily McDonald with a final round score of 81.50. Jobin had to sweat out his victory a little more with a narrow 1.3-point gap between him and Quinten John Fast. 

The synchronized swimming duet female competition was tremendous drama. Ioana Gheta & Maria Gheta inched by Paige Ashlyn Hopper & Cassandra Jasmina Winkelaar with 75.092 points. Their margin of defeat was three-quarters of a point. 

During the team portion of synchronized swimming, Manitoba secured a gold medal with a victory over Newfoundland & Labradour and Nova Scotia. However, the final round was tight, with Quebec recording the most single-round points with Alberta finishing second.

The finals for table tennis will take place on Saturday, with Ivy Liao and Amy Nichols squaring off on the women's side. Liao needed five games to secure her spot in the championship match, while Nichols dominated the final three games of her match with Jean Fel after dropping the first game. 

On the men's side Filip Ilijevski and Moxi Guo played a nailbiter with the last four games all decided by two points. Ilijevski secured the victory with an 11-9 win the final game. Michael Luo had no such problems, winning three of the four games against Lucas Wang by 23 combined points.

Day 8 Recap

The eighth day of competition at the 2015 Canada Winter Games featured 14 medal events, with many of them taking place on the speedskating track.

Quebec had a field day in that discipline as the province collected 10 total medals in short track and long track speedskating.

That included a pair of golds in the men's and women's short track 3,000-meter relay. They also dominated the short track 3,000 meter-relay individually with two podium sweeps.

Quebec short track speedskating coach Erika Huszar was thrilled with her team's performance Friday, according to CanadaGames2015.ca.

"Everyone on our team got a medal, so we're very, very happy," she said.

The action didn't end there as there was plenty more action both outside and indoors. One of the day's biggest surprises came in ringette as underdog Manitoba shocked Ontario 6-4 to take gold in the event for the first time in its history.

Per CanadaGames2015.ca, Manitoba's Kinley Graves was beyond excited after she helped push her team to victory with a hat trick.

"I don't know how to put into words what this win means to us," Graves said. "It is unimaginable. Little Manitoba has come up and we have been working hard for two years. We knew we could pull it out and I am just so proud."

There is still more than a week of competition remaining in Canada, but it will be difficult to match the entertainment level Day 8 provided.

From impressive dominance to shocking upsets, it truly had it all.

Day 3 Recap

Quebec enjoyed the most productive day, taking home 11 medals. That success was in large part due to its absolute dominance in speed skating. 

On the short track, Quebec swept the podium in both the men's 1500m and women's 1500m, with Antoine Roy and Rosalie Tremblay each earning gold. Compatriot Geanne Dufour also grabbed gold in women's 1500m (long track), but Alberta's Dylan White was able to stop Quebec's run of gold by topping Guillaume Labbe. 

Quebec was also well-represented on the slopes, with Laurence Huot winning the women's Super G event, but it was Ontario that truly controlled that particular sport. 

Ontario, which tallied seven medals on the day, earned five in the men's and women's Super G. Declan McCormack, Cam McGregor and Will Kornya swept the men's event, while Brianna Macdonald and Samantha Boughner finished just behind Huot for the ladies. 

Alberta and British Columbia were next best on the day, finishing with six and five medals, respectively. 

Day 2 Recap

Day 2 at the Canada Winter Games belonged to the skiers. While pool play got underway in hockey and ringette, the first medals were handed out Saturday in the freestyle skiing events for the men and women.

And, in both cases, it proved to be a domination for British Columbia.

Elena Gaskell saw almost zero competition on the women's side, while Teal Henderson Harle's only real scare came from fellow British Columbian Patrick Dew. Both Gaskell and Henderson Harle finished in first place in both the final and qualification sessions.

Gaskell plowed through her first run with a score of 78.70, putting her right ahead of Bryana Cressey going into the final round. While Cressey faltered in her run to the gold, Gaskell matched the near-flawlessness of her first run. She was given a 77.70 score during a final in which she basically could have given up midway through and still won.

The silver medalist, Rachael Karker, was given a score of just 61.70. She was closer to sixth-place Valerie Marie Cote than to Gaskell. British Columbia's Sofiane Gagnon finished in third place, only 0.5 points behind Karker.

On the men's side, Henderson Harle and Dew gave fans runs to remember. The British Columbia pair battled neck and neck during both runs, but Henderson Harle came away on top in both. He opened with a brilliant score of 86.50 in the qualifying round, followed closely by Dew's 82.50. Luke Lambert, who played the third fiddle all afternoon long, was in third place going into the final.

While it seemed difficult to expect Henderson Harle to top himself from the qualifying run, he did just that. His 90.00 run was the best anyone put together all day on the men's or women's side and made it almost impossible to catch him. Dew, turning in his second stellar run at 82.20, settled for the silver. Lambert stayed in third place to earn his bronze.

In ringette action, Ontario and Manitoba breezed their way to easy wins. Ontario earned a 6-2 victory over Quebec. Manitoba defeated New Brunswick 7-4.

Hockey action was a bit more exciting, with Manitoba earning a 2-1 triumph over Saskatchewan in overtime. Melissa Hunt scored the game-winning goal.

The day's other matchup saw Alberta dominate Nova Scotia as expected.

Day 1 Recap: Opening Ceremony

Francis Vachon/Associated Press

The pomp and circumstance of every major national or international event is put on display with the Opening Ceremony. This year's Canada Games are no different, which is set to make full use of the sights and sounds both in British Columbia and the country. 

Patrick Roberge, who produced the Opening Ceremony, told Okanagan Life he wanted to combine the exuberance of athletes with the history of Canada:

"We want to harness the youthful energy of the athletes and celebrate the northern story of the region,’’ says Producer Patrick Roberge. ‘‘Athletes, artists, performers and spectators alike all follow unique tracks to join us for the Opening Ceremony; together, we will celebrate their journey to the 2015 Games."

Based on the reaction, it seems like Roberge got exactly what he wanted. No easy feat, when you consider the degree of difficulty in trying to balance new and old. Many television show producers have fallen on their sword trying to do the same thing. 

The images coming out of Prince George were incredible, like this one featuring the Northern Story. The work that has been done to make this year's Opening Ceremony feel wholly unique, while still honoring the host country, is incredible.

It's also an important moment for the athletes. As Gary Kingston of The Vancouver Sun wrote, this is either going to be the beginning of or peak for many of the participants:

"

For some of the athletes, these Games might be the pinnacle of their sport career. Many will go on to college or university sport. And, as we’ve seen, a select few will develop into the next generation of Canada’s elite high-performance athletes.

Sixteen of the 26 medals won by Canada at the 2010 Vancouver/Whistler Olympics were captured by Canada Games alumni. It was 11 of 18 two years later in London. And in Sochi last year, 12 of the 25 medallists had Canada Games experience and six of the 10 gold medallists were CWG alumni.

"

Whatever becomes of these young Canadian stars, being able to carry their flag at this event is a moment that none of them will ever forget. Everyone hopes to represent their city and province in some way, but few get this kind of stage to do it. 

The time for celebrating is over. Sports is about competition and there will be plenty of that in Prince George over the next two weeks. It's time to see which athletes truly are the best of the best.
