The National Team and National Squad players are currently in Tampa, Florida at the 13th Annual Coloplast International, and make up two of the teams in this 8-team tournament.

The competition includes: The Phoenix Heat – Hoveround Lightning (without Willsie) – Denver Harlequins – The Swedish National Team,The Tampa Generals and our very own London Annihilators (with the Willsie but without the Whitey). Our Nordiques team is seeded 2nd while Canada Ice is slotted in to the #6 seed.

The Ice have London, Hoveround and Phoenix in their pool, while the Nordiques will have to face Denver, Sweden and Tampa before the crossovers.

Three games have been played thus far, with Phoenix beating London, the Nordiques beating Tampa by a score of 39-28, and no word on the Swedish - Denver match.

Back to shivvering in the Canadian cold.... it is pushing -40ºC with the wind chill factor today here in Ottawa, which is pretty much the same sort of weather that our two injured Sasksquashers are facing as they keep track on their team's results from afar. Tampa is looking like a good place to be from here.

More on the scores as they become available. Alternatively, you can check out the tournament site, as John Bishop is pretty quick at posting results.
