Team Canada Fall Festival Camp First Step on Road to 2025 World Championships
Team Canada's Fall Festival has kicked off. See who's at camp and how the roster looks so far.
Forty seven (48 invites but Emerance Maschmeyer will not be there) players have descended into the Niagara region to participate in the Team Canada Fall Festival camp. This camp is for the senior team as the development and U18 national teams have already had their camps in the summer. This camp is the start of the journey these 47 players are about to embark upon in order to fight and earn a spot on the 2025 Canadian World Championship roster. It’s possible a player that hasn’t been invited to this camp will make the 2025 Canadian roster but your chances are always better being right in front of the Team Canada front office and coaching staff.
Now it’s no secret that the Canadian senior national team rosters have been trending on the older side. In fact, according to Elite Prospects, the last two Canadian Worlds teams have been the oldest in average age (27.87 & 28.09) in the Canadian history of the tournament. Now they did win the 2024 WHC but probably fair to say that this tournament felt closer to 2019 rather than 2022 for Canada.
