    Team USA Returns

    The USA Eagles enter the Canada Cup as the world’s number one ranked team and have the tremendous distinction of winning every Canada Cup that they’ve entered.

    The current Parapan Am champions are known for their stifling defense and rapid ball movement and will be led by 2x Canada Cup MVP Chuck Aoki and co-captain Eric Newby.

    Keep an eye out for Sarah Adam who was one of the USA’s top performers in Santiago and who’s the first woman to compete for Team USA at the Canada Cup.
