Didn't WW went to a Canadan Crew Club race before or something? I'm hoping Magnum would attend those events one day as well and be able to race with the top teams. Of course, there's always financial/commitment issues and the good ol' "Race for medal or experience" debate.

Yes without warning did participate in crew club race before. The only reason why Without warning may not seem so dominant this year is because they've chosen to take it easy this season + that they lost a lot of paddlers to FCRCC through the years. Let's not forget, during the past 2 years they did beat Gorging in Victoria to win Victoria, won San Fran, and won Whistler. Also, a lot of guys on the current FCRCC B team are not necessarily on it because they're slower than the members on the A team, but more so because of time and financial reasons. Other than Alcan and *requirement* races such as Whistler and Harrison for nationals this year, the B team members still get to race in the majority of other local races such as dash and the fcrcc regatta (so far this season).
