Mike Green & Brian Istace and Josée Grand'Maître & Jennifer Saunders were the winning teams at the National Team Selection Event for doubles held in Calgary in January. Green and Istace won all their matches, while Grand'Maître and Saunders finished tied with Lori-Jane Powell and Julie Neubauer but finished first, because they had beaten Powell and Neubauer in their head-to-head match.
