Canada announced their roster on July 10, and will look to continue their dominance at the tournament. Canada has never lost a game at the World Box Championships.
Team Canada will be led by left-handed forwards Josh Byrne and Jeff Teat, and anchored by a three-headed monster in the goal. Four Buffalo Bandits fill the roster, along with four Toronto Rock athletes.

Then Team USA announced their roster just yesterday. As the number of Americans playing in the NLL has grown, this looks to be the most competitive roster that Team USA has ever sent to the tournament.
The team is headlined by Toronto Rock star Tom Schreiber, who will form a dynamic right side with Jack Hannah, Joe Resetarits, and OJLL Playoff MVP Joey Spallina.
The left side will include Charlie Bertrand, Blaze Riorden, Brandon Robinson, Mac O’Keefe, and 2025 Tewaarton favourite CJ Kirst.
The defence will be anchored by Danny Logan, Ryan Terefenko, and Connor Kirst.
The USA goaltenders are Gowah Abrams, and Halifax Thunderbirds netminder Drew Hutchison.
The Haudenosaunee Nationals were the finalists in 2019, and will look to challenge again for a gold medal. They enter with the #2 ranking in the world, but have not yet announced their roster for the tournament. Check out highlights from the 2019 finals below.
For the first time, the tournament will also have a women’s division. Canada’s roster for the women’s side of the bracket is below.
