| Canadian Fencers
I'm from Canada. I know most of you are from the US. Just want your opinions on who you think are the best fencers in each weapon from Canada. |

| I don't really know much else about Canadian fencing outside of Men's Foil, but Josh McGuire and Khalded Husham are probably the best guys in seniors, and Marek Wojick, Alexis Landreville and Tessiere are by far the best juniors... In my opinion, Marek has got the most complete game of all of the juniors...
As for saber, I often see the name Boulos thrown around....
And Pascal is a friend, a great great ref, and a very cool guy...

| Laurie "Shlong"
Bakos <- Cool Johnny Appleseed
St. Hillaire <- Real pain if he feels sexy, otherwise still not bad.
Jrs? I've seen Ganevich fence a little... when he's winning he looks good, but when he's loosing he looks just horrible. I guess that's just being a Jr, but he has a good Canook feeling to his game.

| Sherraine MacKay for womens epee. Her fencing is some of the smoothest and slickest I've ever seen, regardless of gender or weapon.

| Laurie is retired.
Tomy Linteau in senior men's epee.
Seguin, Leblanc, and the Bajgoric bros in juniors.
In women's epee Sherraine McKay is heads and shoulders above anyone in the American continent.
I don't do foil or sabre.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but last I heard he was getting a business plan together with a few other Canadian Olympians (not fencers) to open a physical therapy joint in Vancouver.
Does anyone know if that worked out for him?

| Yes Sherraine would be a standout on the Women's side.
Actually, the whole Canadian women's Olympic epee team deserves credit for placing 4th (lost the bronze medal round) in team epee in Athens.
She has a website with 3 cool movies to view. http://www.sherrainemackay.com/multimedia.htm
cheers,

| Tars Bakos, Vincent Pelletier, Charles st hilaire and Igor Tikhomirov are all really good seniors. The bajgoric bros are no longer juniors (one of them hasn't been a junior for quite a while) and the junior team is gantsevich, leblanc and seguin. Gantsevich is still a cadet. | |
