Team Nunavut

Many of the teams participating in badminton this week at the North American Indigenous Games had never met before arriving in Toronto.

But that’s not the case for cousins Davidee Kudluarok and Mike Kavik, the 16U males double team from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut.

Team Nunavut had a successful year in the 2014 Regina games, but something was missing — a gold medal.

They fell short to Team Saskatchewan and look to finish the job this year.

Nunavut head coach Sunday Thomas was not disheartened by his team’s loss in U19 men’s basketball at the Indigenous Games.
