Badat Leads Canada To First-Ever Medal at Maccabiah Games

A second-year transfer from York University in his native Canada, Badat missed the 2012 season with a knee injury. Boasting 23 goals in two seasons at York, Badat was a second-team Canadian Interuniversity Sport All-Star in 2011 after finishing as the second-leading scorer in the Ontario University Athletics division.
