Somba K\u2019e Paddling Club coaches say they\u2019re keen to build a junior rowing team in Yellowknife after spending time learning at a major national regatta.<\/p>\n

While the territorial capital did not send athletes to August\u2019s Canada Cup in London, Ontario, NWT-based coaches Lauren Hogan and Gillian Waugh were invited to attend.<\/p>\n

That included a trip to rowing manufacturer Hudson Boat Works to learn about repairing and maintaining the boats used in competition, known as racing shells.<\/p>\n
