CWENCH 2025 All Canadian Game Event Recap

Style of Play:

The CWENCH All Canadian Game featured Canada’s best high school level talent. The game was played at a very fast pace which led to both teams scoring over 140 points. It had an all star game type of feel with a lot of fast-break opportunities, over flashiness, and not much defense being played. In the second half, it became a more competitive game with players having the chance to showcase their half-court scoring and offense more. The spacing on the court was lackluster and inefficient as many players struggled with shooting from deep.
