Canada

The Canadian U23 Men have competed at each of the U23 world championships since hosting the inaugural even in 1997 in Toronto. Canada enjoyed success at the first two events by reaching the top of the podium in 1997 and 2001, but the U23 men have since placed no higher than sixth in the following world championships.

Team Canada is in pursuit of the podium once again as the country and the world celebrate the event’s return to the inaugural city on its 20th anniversary.
