\n

Team Canada will be led by veteran athletes Cassie Prentice (Macrorie, SK), Juliette Parent (St Jacques de Montcalm, QC) and Sean Sauv\u00e9 (Valleyfield, QC) who have all competed for Canada at the junior level several times. Prentice and Parent won silver at the 2018 world championships and Sauv\u00e9 won bronze twice in boy’s doubles in 2018 and 2016.<\/p>\n

Returning athletes Camelia, Ofelia and Tamara Wilscam (Repentigny, QC), Nathan Jauvin (Terrebonne, QC), Naman Gauri (Lethbridge, AB) and Christian Pocsai (New Hamburg, ON) also bring experience to the team. Ofelia and Tamara Wilscam won bronze together in 2017.<\/p>\n

The team will be rounded out by Kelly-Marie Barrett (Leamington, ON), Kyle Dick (Wheatley, ON) and Asher Pocsai (New Hamburg, ON) who are all competing at their first international event.<\/p>\n

The coaches for Team Canada will be Michel Gagnon of Montr\u00e9al and Rino Langelier of Brossard, QC.<\/p>\n
