Several weeks ago Ultimate Canada announced the mens and womens rosters that will represent Canada at the inaugural u23 world championship in Florence, Italy. The tournament will be held July 19-25 2010.
Team Canada-Women's Roster
The women's head coach is Danielle Fortin. Fortin, a club team player for Stella, Capitals and Lotus, won junior gold as a player in 2004 and will play for Lotus at the 2010 WUCC in Prague. Her experience as a coach/player coach includes several university national titles with the Ottawa Gee Gees and a 5th place world juniors result at the 2008 WUGC in Vancouver.
Her 21 player squad will include at least 6 ladies with world junior experience.
Players to watch include Jordan Meron of Western/Lotus (who scored an outstanding 29 goals at the 2008 world juniors), McGill captain and star Rachael Moens and former Ottawa Gee Gee/Stella Alex Benedict, a smooth handler with nice throws.

Alex Harned of Uvic/Zephyr is missing from the public ladies roster. I'm not sure if that's the only clerical oversight. Double-check with Crump.
other key players from the west include bobak, jenny lo, oli, val and geneva, and maria chau all from UBC which really speaks to their strength as a university squad.
