CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA TOUR

National Men's Team Tour

February 11 to 21, 2009

As Canada looks toward its last stage of preparation for the Pan Am Cup in Santiago, Chile, the team has just returned from a 4 day selection camp in Victoria, BC.

Alan Brahmst, head coach, has identified 19 players as his squad for a ten day training project in Chula Vista, California starting on February 11th. Canada is planning to play 2 test matches against the USA and is bringing along their training partner, Der Club an der Alster, the 2-time defending German Champion from Hamburg. Alster will also play 2 matches against the USA.

Alster itself is preparing for their EHL quarterfinal match-up with Egara at UHC in April. Canada and Alster will play a series of training matches and leverage each other's capabilities and styles of play, while collaborating to optimize tactical intelligence and preparations. 

Both Alster and Canada will arrive in Chula Vista on February 11th. Canada will return to their national training centre in Vancouver on the 21st and then depart on the 26th for South America, with the objective of winning the Pan Am Cup and qualifying for the 2010 World Cup.
