Honeymoon will have to wait for Traer and Scrubb, who’s in China for World Cup
DONGGUAN, China — Catherine Traer and Thomas Scrubb were working out last summer on the basketball court Traer’s dad Rick had built in the family’s backyard.
The two players work out there regularly but this day was particularly memorable. Chelsea, Que., was experiencing a heat wave at the time. Traer remembered it was nearly 40 C.
“Tommy made me go through this whole workout, and we always end our workouts with 10 free throws. It took me a bit longer that day because I was really struggling because of the heat,” Traer said. “The ball just rolled away, I went to pick it up, and I turned around and Tommy was down on one knee.”
Scrubb proposed to Traer that day. The two were married on Aug. 4 of this year at Ottawa’s Hunt and Golf Club, one night before Scrubb had to fly to Toronto for the Canadian team’s basketball camp for the World Cup.
