14 Canada Cup standouts invited to Texas

by FBC

Football Canada is proud to announce the final fourteen players invited to Team Canada based on their performance at the 2014 Football Canada Cup in Saskatoon. This team comprised of players born in the year’s 1997 and 1998 will compete against Team USA in Arlington, Texas as part of February 2015’s International Bowl series. This group of 14 joins the 26 previously named tournament all-stars, forming an invitation roster of 40.

Over the next few weeks, all players will be contacted by a member of the national team coaching staff.

Series fuels Canada-USA rivalry

Last February’s [2014] International Bowl marked the first time that Canada and Team USA faced-off outside IFAF World Championship competition. The Canada Cup National Team heads into its second International Bowl looking to build on a 59-3 victory.

In 2015, Canada will be looking for retribution after falling to Team USA 40-17 in the gold medal game at the 2014 IFAF U-19 World Championship in Kuwait. Coming off a Canada victory in 2012, the meeting marked the third consecutive junior world championship contest in which the two had squared off.
