My Team Canada - Jon Montgomery : 12/14/2009

In 2002, a casual trip to Canada Olympic Park in Calgary left an indelible mark on Jon Montgomery. While on a tour of the park, the Russell, Man., native witnessed a skeleton race and immediately fell in love with the sport. Jon quickly enjoyed success, winning the Europa Cup championship in 2005-06, finishing third overall in his rookie season on the World Cup circuit in 2006-07 and rising to second in the World Cup standings in 2008-09.
