WCP Cup in Regina

WCP stands for World Class Players. For 11 years the WCP soccer tournament runs from March  through to April every year in Regina. It has become a three week event with over 1,200 participants, including men, women, youth boys and girls. Soccer players from across Saskatchewan and Canada come to represent their Nations of heritage in the World Class Players Cup.
It is the great event that brings so many different cultures together under one roof, one facility, with nobody fighting people cheering and wearing their colors.
Last year 15 Ukrainian soccer payers from Regina and Saskatoon decided to make a team and participate in WCP Cup. It was first time for last 5 years that Ukrainian men team participated in this tournament. We started our training 3 month before official games. Our team had to play with other four teams ( Nigeria, Columbia, Norway and Poland) and win to go to next level in this competition. We won one game and lost other three. But it was the good result for first year team. Also our fans were the best compare to others. We had the biggest and loudest fans in whole tournament.
WCP Cup tournament is fun, but definitely competitive. The level of play is high and the fans and the players are there to win.

My first snowboarding experiene

Last winter friend of mine took me to snowboarding at Mission Ridge Winter Park at Fort Qu'appelle. Mark MaMorris started snowboarding at this place and won bronze at Olympic Games in Sochi on 2014. This park is not very big but  it is the best one in South Saskatchewan.
My friend had some experience but me and my wife had none. We rented all equipment and bought learner package that include one hour of group instruction. While we were waiting for instructor we learned to how stay and how to walk with snowboard by yourself. The instruction was very basic about how to walk, how to turn  and get up with the snowboard after falling.
After that we spend all day on bunny hill with kids and other learners. Only after couple hours of training I was able to slide from bunny hill without falling.
Overall  I liked my first snowboarding experience despite of a lot of falls and body sore next day.

My first day in Canada

My first day in Canada was really long. I and my family landed in Toronto on December 3, 2013. I've never travelled outside my native country before. So my first thought in airport was: "How many different nationalities are here?!" Till we were staying in the line for board control I heard different languages around me. In the beginning I felt uncomfortable. But after I realized that all these people have couple common things: English language and wish to leave in Canada.

When we came to Canada I understand quite English but never had chance to speak on it. I was scared to start to talk because might tell something wrong or not-understandable. So my wife talked with everybody in airport and I only took care of our daughter.

After we had our final flight to Regina. We were so tired and I don't remember how it went. In my opinion we are really lucky because when we came to Regina we already had some relatives here. My mother-in-law met us in airport, drove to her home where supper was ready and was waiting for us. For next 6 month we had place where to live till we found jobs and started earn some money for independent life.
