Two Canadian Men’s Indoor National squads are set to host Argentina in an indoor test series over the Thanksgiving weekend in Mississauga as a part of its ongoing preparation for the 2015 World Cup.
After South Africa elected to remove itself from the competition, Canada and Argentina will go head-to-head in a three-team, two-nation tournament.
The two teams boast many of the world’s best indoor hockey players. The action will be fast-paced, highly skilled and very competitive.
