Larraza is a big kid (6'3"" - 178 lbs.) from Arizona who has huge upside potential. We'll see how he does against this level of competition and follow his progress throughout the Tournament.

Canada will have five teams entered in the Tournament.

ONT - Ontario Canada
QUE - Québec Canada
SWE

WST - Canada West

Group B
ATL - Canada Atlantic
