Also from Wheeler's Athletic article this morning:
Quote:
Canada tested out Cameron Reid (who broke up a bunch of plays in the scrimmage with his anticipation) and Mackenzie alongside Parekh throughout the week, and Parekh thought he and Reid could have the same impact the Cole Hutson-Zeev Buium pair had for Team USA last year.
Behind the Parekh pair, they’re looking to build more of a shutdown pair around Brunicke, and both Kashawn Aitcheson and Carson Carels got looks there. I’d bet it’s Aitcheson-Brunicke in the end. That’s the role they played at their U18 Worlds in Finland, where both emerged as the tournament went on as go-to players in defensive situations.
