As the number 1 ranked on the April 30th NDFC Ranking List, Cindy Hayhurst earn an automatic spot on Team Canada at the 2013 World Cup being hosted by Canada in St. John's Newfoundland this coming October. Dawson Murschell earned his spot on Team Canada for winning the Male Youth World Cup Qualifier during the Youth Nationals last month.

Alberta had a record 8 competitors eligible to compete in the World Cup Qualifier based on their results on the NDFC Ranking List as of April 30th. Ivy Wieshlow (#2), Crystal Brazil (#16), Norm Tremblay (#2), Terry Hayhurst (#3), Shaun Narain (#5), Dion LaViolette - not in attendance (#13), and Jeff Howard & Gerald Gillcrist (tied in #16). Linda Ledingham and Jim Edwards represented Alberta. This event took place on Friday afternoon following the Nodor Cup. With only one additional women and three additional men forming Team Canada, it is extremely tough competition and none of the Alberta players were successful in achieving one of those remaining spots.
