The Canadians are split into two separate teams at the World Rugby Challenge: Canada Ice and Canada Nordiques. The Ice are made up of 3.0 Ian Chan, 3.0 Mike Whitehead, 2.5 Say Luangkhamdeng, 2.0 Daryl Stubel, 1.5 Patrice Simard, 1.0 Dave Gagné, 1.0 Mike Bacon, and 0.5 Daniel Paradis.

The Ice were the first Canadian team to see action at the World Rugby Challenge, and team captain Ian Chan set the tone early against the top-seeded Australians, with Chan sending Brad "The Kid" Dubberley to the floor with a massive hit. The Aussies were seeded 2nd overall, while the Ice were ranked in 10th spot.

Despite the score listed on the USQRA site, the Aussies beat the Ice 44-36 in an entertaining and fun game full of solid displays of skill by both teams. The small size of the Canadian team took its toll, and a few costly turnovers were the result. Ice Captain Chan from Richmond, BC led the Canadian attack with 15 goals, followed by his London, Ontario teammate Mike Whitehead with 8. Other Canadians to score were Patrice Simard (6), Mike Bacon (3), and both Say Luangkhamdeng and Dave Gagné with 2 goals apiece.

Top athletes and team members from both the USA and AUS complimented Canadian Head Coach Joe Soares on the improved skill of the Canadian players.
