    TEAM CANADA REPORT

    The Canadian Mens National Team suited up for a match against the tournament
    Allstars that was made up of  players from Team USA and some of the top
    visiting European talent. It was definitely the fastest, most intense match
    of the ECT that kept the fans entertained. The game also had a more physical aspect to it than normal as the referees let them check shoulder to shoulder, which is becoming more and more accepted at the top international level.

    An impressive exhibition in front of their home crowd was led by the younger USA talent. They had an excellent match, showing speed, ball handling skill and that they can play with the intensity that is required to win at that level. Canada’s tenacity put them out front 3 nothing until only the last few minutes when the Allstars took away netminder Derek Swanton’s shutout. Final Score Canada 3- ECT All-Stars 1

    None of the Canadian team members residing in Europe, who typically make up half of the Mens National Team, were available, which left spots for some new first time Canadian born and bred talent to take to the court.  Newcomer Stephane Laporte from Montreal definitely caught the
    attention of many in the stands showing speed, determination and his slick
    stick handling skills, often going through 2 or 3 players without being
    touched on a charge to the net.  Stephane has recently switched from ball hockey to
    floorball and his opposing teams already have his number marked.  This is a great example of the talent that will lead the charge of floorball at the grass roots level in Canada!

    Congratulations Stephane!  Keep it going.

    Local BC Floorball star, Blair Zimmerman, had a solid game, using his speed up and down the court, breaking up plays and defending off the other team.  Well done Blair and congratulations to The Men’s National Team on another victory!
