Lynx wing Bridget Carleton is both excited and overwhelmed. Saturday may just be a just a preseason game between the Lynx and Chicago Sky, but the location adds a sense of enormity for both her and her country.The exhibition in Toronto marks the first WNBA competition on Canadian soil. Carleton, who helped lead Canada to a fourth-place finish at last year’s World Cup, knows what this means to her nation and the many young kids, specifically, who will be in attendance to take it in.“It’s one thing to know about the WNBA, to hear about it. But it’s another to go to a game, to see it, to see the shoes that you could potentially be in in however many years,” Carleton told reporters. “A lot of people, especially in Canada, we don’t have access to those things in our backyard.”But they’ll get a taste of it Saturday. And the excitement for just that morsel was obvious the moment tickets went on sale. Scotiabank Arena essentially sold out for the game in minutes.“They did a really good job,...
