November 10, 2012 – With the first FIS World Cup only two weeks away the Canadian team has suffered an injury as rising star Len Valjas  posted a photo of his left hand in a cast after breaking a bone, just as the team is their way to Ostersund, Sweden for more trainin. Valjas writes in his blog…

It begins again. I am sitting in the Frankfurt Lounge pounding a few cappuccinos trying to wake myself up. Like last year, our team is heading over to Ostersund, Sweden for some skiing before the races start next week in Bruksvallarna. As you can see in the picture, I have a cast on my hand. A couple days ago I broke a bone in my hand. Pretty bad timing… I am giving it some time to rest and heal and I am really hoping to be back racing soon!
