[His book ensures] ‘that there [will] be literature and memory of the Irish communities.’” Bob Mackin, Vancouver Courier. We are a very active and vibrant Association in Canada where Hurling and Football are played by both Irish and Canadians in cities and towns all over the country. Currently we have 40 teams embracing both men and women who are playing both Ireland’s national games. Hurling was re-introduced to the city of Vancouver in 2008. Vancouver entered the North American Junior Championship in 2010 and was crowned champions at their first attempt. In 2011, the Vancouver Hurling team was re-named, Joseph P. Ryan’s (Vancouver), in memory of Joseph Ryan, a founding member of the GAA who later immigrated to Canada and who is buried in Cranbrook, British Columbia. Hurling in the city has continued to grow and 2013 will see the role out of a 7-a-side city league, along with continued involvement in the North American Championship and a number of other tournaments in both the United States and Canada.
