Sometimes you don't even need to ask a question

Yesterday we were lucky to have a whose who of amateur sports officials in our SSN studios. CIS president Dick White, Hockey Canada scout Wally Kozak and Sport Canada official Roger Ouellette all dropped by to talk shop. We even had gold-medal winner Charline Labonte, currently starring between the pipes for McGill, as an in-studio guest.

But it was an interview with Gee-Gees forward Josianne Garneau that stuck out for me. Only moments after her game ended against Alberta last night (a 5-0 loss) Garneau ventured up to our studios to talk about the game. Still sweating and clearly disappointed by the result Garneau had the class to do the interview.

There wasn't much she could say. After all the Gee-Gees certainly wanted more from this national championship, but from just sitting beside her you could tell how much the tournament meant to her and this team. You only get so many chances to play in a national championship and you could tell how badly these players wanted to do well.

Sometimes you don't need to ask a tough question to know the answer.
