Highwood Mustangs rugby star Carmen Izyk is heading to the Bahamas this Summer.

No holiday's for her, it's all work as she'll proudly wear the Maple Leaf as part of Team Canada's Rugby Seven's team at the Youth Commonwealth Games.

"It's really humbling to be able to play with all sorts of athletes from different countries from around the world. Especially at this age. I'm super excited to have this opportunity."

In the meantime, Izyk will head to Sherwood Park Friday and Saturday, June 9 and 10, with her Mustangs Teammates to go for the gold in the Women's Rugby Provincials.
