Team Canada announces rosters for the 4 Nation Classic
“The 4 Nation Classic marks the first step in the final phase of our Pan Am Games preparation,” says Men’s Coach Robin D’Abreo. “It will be the first of 3 competition elements through the summer that will allow us to meet the following objectives:
-
Reintegrate players on our squad who have been participating in overseas leagues
-
Continue to further refine our tactical frame work
-
Familiarize ourselves with some of our Pan Am opponents
-
Consolidate the talent pool for the purpose of final selection to the Pan Am Games Team
Playing at home also allows for additional exposure to our fantastically dedicated supporters whose belief, strength, and encouragement continually spark our performances.”

“The 4 Nation Classic is important as it allows the team to compete in a tournament setting,” says Women’s Coach Louis Mendonca. “Tournaments usually bring match pressure at every game. Understanding, coping and competing under these conditions will help the team performance at the Pan Am Games and Olympic Qualifiers.
The 4 Nation Classic provides more international experience for our players and the opportunity to raise the profile of the program, which in turn will inspire more young women to take up the sport. Canada has typically been a road warrior; however, in the last few years FHC has a done great job to provide both the men’s and women’s teams competition at home. Not only has it helped our budget, it has been a huge boost for the athletes and staff to play in front of home fans and supporters."
