The Canadian under-23 player pool is deeper than ever, with talented youngsters making themselves known around the globe (as well as, for the first time, here at home in the Canadian Premier League). This year’s team, coached by senior team assistant Mauro Biello, has some exciting talent in every position.

One of the CPL’s best hopes for representation in the squad is likely Shamit Shome,
a marquee young signing for FC Edmonton this off-season. The 23-year-old midfielder has 43 games in MLS to his name from his time in Montreal (80 professional appearances total), and he recently returned to his hometown to help lead the new-look Eddies in the CPL.
