Lucas MacDonald wins Team P.E.I.'s 1st medal at Canada Games — a silver in judo
Lucas MacDonald won Team P.E.I.'s first medal of the 2023 Canada Winter Games Thursday afternoon — silver in judo, in the male over-81 kg category.
MacDonald started judo by chance when he was 11 after he was injured in hockey. He was looking for "something to do" and found himself on a tatami mat.
The gold medal went to John Jr. Messé À Bessong, a Quebec athlete who had previously won a world championship in his weight class.
