It was not the end Abbey Maillet had hoped for.
Maillet had a successful first season with the LU rowing team in 2019-2020. She finished 5
th at the OUA Championships for lightweight singles.
This February, she went on to win gold in the 2021 Canadian Indoor Rowing Championships in the U23 2000m Women’s Lightweight race. With this victory, the second-year rowing athlete had qualified for the 2021 World Rowing Indoor Championships, which were held virtually last week.
Unfortunately, Maillet recently suffered a wrist injury that kept her from competing in the competition.

Abbey Maillet, a second-year Sports Education and Concurrent Education student, has qualified for the 2021 World Rowing Indoor Championships after winning gold at the Canadian Indoor Rowing competition earlier this month.
“It was really great to race for Laurentian again and to test my ability. It’s been a year since I’ve last competed so it was definitely a great experience,” she said.
Maillet said the competition is normally held in Mississauga but due to the pandemic, it was held virtually this year.
Maillet, who has been rowing for six years, began her journey with her high school’s rowing team in Hamilton.

Can we just agree that Canadian Party Life is not a news source?
Canadian Party Life (CPL) is an Instagram page that features videos of university students from across the country doing dumb stuff (mainly while intoxicated).
So of course when they posted a screenshotted tweet saying “Laurentian University files for bankruptcy & owes three Canadian banks $91 million” they just went with it.
They took this information from Financial Post’s article “RBC, TD, BMO snared in Laurentian University bankruptcy.”
Laurentian filed for creditor protection but what does that really mean?
