Winnipeg Fury Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Clark Announces Men’s Under-17 Development Camp Roster Ottawa, Ontario –Ray Clark, Director of Coaching and Player Development has announced his 18-player roster for an Under-17 Development Team training camp in Blaine, Minnesota from July 10-21, 2004. Canada will play four matches while training in Blaine, two against the United States. “This project allows us an additional opportunity to look at a number of new National Team prospects in a very competitive setting,” said Clark. “The US National Youth Teams have become a permanent fixture on the world stage and benefit from a full time training structure through their Residency Program; and Cruz Azul is one of Mexico’s leading Professional Clubs and operates a first class Development Program. These games will certainly provide us with a good measuring stick with which to compare the progress of our players as they move closer to the 2007 FIFA World Youth Championships.” Clark will undoubtedly be counting upon players like goalkeeper Asmir Begovic (Edmonton, AB), striker Alex Elliott (Vancouver, BC), and midfielder Hector Contreras (Montreal, QC) for leadership. All three players were integral components of Stephen Hart’s U17 squad that narrowly missed qualifying for the FIFA U17 World Championships in 2003.

Gian-Luca Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 More new Canuck kids based in Europe. I think it's time I did a major update to the Canucks abroad thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrek Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 If you get called up for this U-17 or U-19 training camp, do you get capped by playing the likes of the USA or Jamaica ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Not sure I understand the question. What is it about playing against USA or Jamaica in particular that wouldn't count as a youth team cap? Are they automatically cap-tied, do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Isn't that typical. There was a piece in the Star-Pheonix about McLeod going back to Holland on trial, but as far as I know, no follow up piece about any success. Glad to see he landed a team.

ray Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 It isn't an official FIFA sanctioned competition. Why would they be cap-tied? My understanding is that only if the game is considered a senior "A" international that a player's options of switching contries before age 21 would be limited.

An Observer Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Question...wasn't Will Johnson an American kid at Blackburn Rovers who was also eligible for Canada (I think even trained with the US?). Good to see we have another forward at a premier league side willing to at least play in friendlies with us. Now only if we could have De Guzman and Lemsky....

You are correct sir, but the player may switch AFTER he turns 21 as long as he doesn't play either for the foregin Senior A team, or plays for a foreign youth team (ie: U-23) after he turns 21.

An Observer Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Actually, this is an older team (87 and younger) and not the 88's and younger...so with a few exceptions such as Lombardo it is the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champs Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 first off julian is 18 years old. He is actually in town and i have spoke to him about many things. He is currently waiting for a contract to be made with the ac Milan primavera team, if that dosent work out he's goin to look elsewhere maybe serie B. Then i asked him about playing for Canada and he said thats not his main concern right now its becoming a proffesional.once he achieves that then he'll decide wheter or not he will play for canada or italy. good answer i said.

ditty Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Some surprising additions from Alberta: Tos Ricketts is as fast as they come, when he's on his game he can be top class, I didn't even know Bartkus and Cuevas were in the NTC player pool. Cuevas is definitely a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with concentrating on being a professional, but I hope he doesn't pull a boob move like Sandro Grande. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
