The last few weeks for the U21 have resulted in a 3rd place pool finish for Canada. After a surprising 1 point OT loss to Ecuador, we picked up wins against Paraguay and Costa Rica, and our 2-3 second round record earned us 3rd place in the group (on point differential). This means that after a scrimmage next week, we'll be thrown into the repechage round. Our repechage group will have 4 teams. The winner of the group qualifies for the world championships, and the 3 non-winners are sent to the consolation round (with 0-2 records). Other than us, there will be one team from each of Europe, Asia, and Africa. We won't know who we're playing until after next week, and let's hope that the draw puts us in a good spot.
The opening roster for next season will be selected approximately a week from now, and the training camp / selection process will be starting a bit early this season (due to the quick arrival of the repechage games). Details about this will be posted up shortly after the next training update.
