We don't get funded enough compared to the rest of the world. We have the talent but don't have the means of funding. I remember last year in our development camp, the coaches wanted us to pay for getting there among other things while other teams get everything paid for and have training centers in every state. Here in Canada we have to go to Toronto primarily and occasionally Vancouver. If you don't get funded properly, it's hard to compete with the top countries.
PS......check out our u-20 game in Commonwealth this July......i'll be on the sidelines. I'm sure it will get sold out but our young kids could use the support! Cheers.
