TORONTO, Canada (Reuters) — Britain’s Prince Harry and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dropped the puck for sledge hockey athletes during the 2017 Invictus Games media launch in Toronto, Ontario, on Monday (May 2).
Prince Harry began the countdown to the 2017 Invictus games, meeting athletes and trying out some of the events himself during his visit to Toronto.
The Invictus Games are the only international adaptive sporting event for injured active and veteran service members.
Queen Elizabeth’s grandson launched the first Invictus games in London in 2014 and the second will take place in Orlando, Florida, May 8-12, featuring athletics, cycling, swimming, volleyball and other sports.
The Canadian games are scheduled to begin in September of 2017.
