LEVEL UP with host Gary Mauris (DLCG CEO) and his incredible guest, Greg Westlake, former Captain of Canada's Paralympic hockey team, this TUESDAY, April 12 at 11am PT / 2pm ET right here on Youtube sponsored by our friends at First National Financial.
Greg Westlake is one of Team Canada’s trusted veterans, and was the long-time captain of the Canadian Para ice hockey team (2010-2019). In 2018, he helped Canada to the silver medal at the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games. He scored three goals and added five assists in five games as Canada lost 2-1 in overtime to the U.S. in the gold medal game.
In addition to the silver won in 2018, Westlake won gold in his Games debut in 2006, bronze in 2014 and Silver last month in Beijing. He is also a nine-time world championship team member with three world titles (2008, 2013, 2017). Canada has finished second to the U.S. at the last two worlds in 2019 and 2021.
Westlake has also worked as a broadcaster. He was a reporter for CBC at the Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games and the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio. He is also a host of AMI’s Level Playing Field and Beyond the Field television programs, which showcase the power of sport through stories about athletes and organizations.
Westlake had both legs amputated below the knee at age 18 months. When he was born his feet were malformed and were never going to be fully functional. The technical term is congenital bilateral below knee amputee. He began playing Para ice hockey with the Mississauga Cruisers in 2001 and made his debut in 2003 with Team Canada at age 17.
Can't wait! Open to everyone and we'll post your questions and comments from the Youtube chat on screen LIVE for Greg to see and reply PLUS we'll have some give aways. See you on Tuesday!
