From looking at the rosters it appears most of the Canadian players have a year of University/Junior football under their belts while the US team is made up of guys going into their senior year of high school (16-17 year olds). Even then it's not the cream of the crop among those guys since all the top prospects are at Nike's the Opening this weekend. Still a good result for Canada though.
