More than 20 matches will be played over the course of the weekend and, for the first time ever, matches will be available for live stream at sportscanada.tv/quidditchcanada.
“I am looking forward to bringing our sport, live, to a wider audience than ever before. I believe that this is a natural step for our sport to become more accessible and consumable for Canadians,” said Events Director Sachin Kotecha in a Quidditch Canada release. “I hope that this first occurrence in this country proves to be a positive building block for the future of the sport in Canada.”
This weekend will surely tell whether they have enough interest to keep building.
