Two Nova Scotians are on Team Canada, in their home province.

Jaylee MacKinnon of Clark’s Harbour and Kendall Doiron of Boylston are playing in the U18 Women’s World hockey championship in Cape Breton.

MacKinnon plays women’s hockey in Ontario, while Doiron goes to Shattuck St. Mary’s in the U.S.
