Interesting...The Maritimes are represented by the kicker, Hutchins, by there isn't a single player from British Columbia.

A couple of things jump out at me, such as the fact that the Brampton Bulldogs appear to have killer backfield talent, but of course I plan on using the time between now and the tournament to find out more about these young men. As this may be the only international tournament of 2015, I may as well get right into it!
