International Cup 2011

Canada's men are heading for the 2011 AFL International Cup no doubt looking to continue their rise.

The Northwind have finished 9th, 7th and 6th at the 2002, 2005 and 2008 Cups and must have their eye on a semi-final berth, although their competition has not stood still. With youth development underway for quite a few years there has been a steady flow of younger players that have grown up with the game. This should stand the Northwind in good stead, as does the ever strong Ontario league.

The average age of the squad is about 27 years. We don't have the average height because the Canadians have bucked the international trend and supplied the data in feet and inches. But at a glance it does look to be fairly tall, with most players over 6 foot, with the High Park Demons' Dale Simnett topping the list at 6'5".
