Football Canada is proud to announce its Junior National Team roster which will take on USA Football’s U19 National Team as part of the 2014 International Bowl series, to be played February 7-8 at Maverick Stadium at the University of Texas at Arlington.
The full roster can be found here in addition to being listed below.
The 60 player roster was selected from close to 500 players who took part in regional identification camps across Canada. These top prospects will take on USA Football’s U19 squad in Texas, competing for one of 45 spots to represent Canada at the 2014 U19 (19-and-under) World Championship in Kuwait.
Canada’s 2014 Junior National Team is led by head coach and defensive coordinator Warren Craney. Craney is a veteran of international competition having served as defensive coordinator at the two previous World Championships under Noel Thorpe (2012) and Glen Constantin (2009) respectively in addition to four generations of the IFAF World Team.
Rivalry renewed
Canada and Team USA have met in the first two IFAF U19 (19-and-under) World Championship gold medal games with Canada avenging a 2009 loss in 2012 to capture gold. With the record split, the 2014 International Bowl series will re-ignite the Canada-USA rivalry as it builds towards the summer.
The International Bowl series features a number of Canada-USA
rivalry games which in addition to a Junior National Team showdown
includes the Football Canada Cup (U18) National Team against USA
Football’s U18 National Team.
Canada’s Junior National Team alumni include Byron
Archambault (U. Montreal), Linden Gaydosh (Carolina Panthers),
Pierre Lavertu (U. Laval), Kirby Fabien (BC Lions), Will Finch
(Western U.), Steven Lumbala (Montreal Alouettes), Jeremi Roch (U.
Sherbrooke), Matt Sewell (McMaster U.), Mercer Timmis (U. Calgary)
and Jake Thomas (Winnipeg Blue Bombers).
