She just turned 15-years-old in August, but come the end of September, Brooke Martell will be representing Cape Breton Island, and Canada, at the World Cup of Darts in Denmark.

"I feel very excited to represent my country and my hometown,” Martell told CTV Atlantic during a practice session at the Hawks Club in Dominion, N.S.

Earlier this year, Martell won the Nova Scotia provincial championship without losing a match.

She then won the Canadian championship in junior singles, which punched her ticket to Scandinavia and brought the national championship trophy back to her small home community of Gabarus, N.S. where she found her love for the sport.

"My whole family plays darts, all the way down from my grandfather, so it just got passed down through the generations,” Martell explained.

The high school student’s first time competing at youth nationals was when she was just ten-years-old.

What would have been her second appearance would have been at home in Sydney, N.S., but was cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic.
