Rowan Barrett, Michael Meeks and David Grundman have done a great job assembling a terrific group and we hope that Canadian fans will come out next Friday and support our players who are proudly representing this country.”

Canada will face Dominican Republic at the Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa, Ontario on Friday, February 21 at 7:00 PM ET before travelling to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic for a rematch on Monday, February 24.
