yh Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Congrats to the Canadians.Question for Stampman - in the U.S., the "national team" is simply a collection of high school all stars from the city/state where the Super Bowl is being played - is the Canadian team a true national team or just a group of the best players from a single area (in Canada's case I'm guessing Edmonton since the Esks' coach is in charge of the team)?

pollux Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I think it's a real National team, to a certain extent. I remember one of my friends going to New Orleans for that championship 6 or 7 years ago. He told me that they were only 3 from La Belle Province, so the rest had to be picked somewhere!If I remember correctly, they usually invite All Star players from different High Schools all over the country, and then pick the best amongst those who showed up.But again, I'm not completely sure about how the selection is made.

MJWalker45 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I think the tournament was closed to Americans until recently, like last 7-8 years. And then, the U.S. squad is restricted to the city hosting the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
